Putting his own financial interests ahead of the US citizenHow can Trump get richer?
Can these conflicts of interest be resolved?
Exactly a week after winning the presidential election, Donald Trump took time out to meet with Indian business partners and his three eldest children at Trump Tower in Manhattan. The meeting came despite the president-elects assurances that he was handing off his business to his children in a blind trust to avoid potential conflicts of interest while serving in the nations highest office.

that voted in Trump, hating globalization, etc. have enabled a global aristocracy with likely more power and wealth shenanigans than ever before with Trump and his global ilk as benefactors. I imagine Trump supporters, especially the poor ones, will love it as they see their social security, medicare, and medicaid benefits dwindle, plus, as Obamacare is restructured and they pay less with mediocre benefits.

conflict of interest problems his presidency creates. They mumble shit about a 'blind trust', well knowing that a blind trust is impossible. Just more 'feel good' mumbo-jumbo from our carnival barker President.
