Liquidation and placement in a blind trust

[SHRED]

This is the only legitimate way that Dump can remove his conflicts of interests associated with his personal business dealings..

Anything short of this will not work.

I guess he really didn't realize he'd become elected?
Looks like between a rock and a hard place for him now.

1. As one commentator said, "Trump set the standards."

Trump kept calling for the closure of the Clinton Foundation even before the election. Now that he is the president-elect (:puke he doesn't want to follow the same standards he demanded of the Clinton family. He kept calling for total divestiture and absolutely no involvement of an member of the Clinton family in the Clinton Foundation or in any of the other Clinton non-profits.

Screw him if he can't understand that he should have to do the same things he demanded of the Clintons.

7. I wush I could remember who said that today

Chances are I saw the comment on CNN this morning. I watch their morning show or HLN mornings rather than Morning Joe.

2. Why so? Nobody's actually seems to be putting pressure on him yet.

He's going to try to tough it out.

He's not going to pay capitol gains tax on the sale of his holdings now, when all he has to do is wait until he dies and then his heirs get a "stepped up" basis and if they sell before any more gains happen, they pay NO cap gains tax.

3. he's going to hand it to his kids and call it a blind trust. it's bullshit.

4. And with a totally servile and compliant House of Representatives

he'll get away with it. Haven't you heard all the Hillary-haters chorusing today about how "It's time to put investigations behind us".

6. He has no intention of giving up anything

he is KING now and the rest of us can just suck it. Thats what he's thinking I'm pretty sure.

We are in uncharted waters now like never before in our countries history

Yes you can say I'm worried, the good part, in my case, is I'm nearing the end of my life so I probably won't have to deal with a lot of the shit thats coming down the pike

My 9 YO Grand Daughter is what keeps me awake at night. What she will have to live through is enough to cause me nightmares

Have I said I hate republiCONs, well I'm saying it now, I hate republiCONs with a white hot passion. Religious fundies and republiCONs are on my shit list for sure.

8. He'd do that for his country, wouldn't he?

The people who voted for him literally entrusted him with their lives (and the rest of our lives too). Trump's not going to juggle that responsibility with business is he? Did he ever say that he was going to work as a part timer? I don't remember that.

9. Liquidation is not likely to be feasible with the complex financial structures of real estate

10. I guess he didn't think this through then

Before he ran.
