At least with Trump ... we'd KNOW he was conducting business and it would not be in the anonymity of a golf course ...

A question I have not heard asked or obviously answered is, What does Trump do vis a vis his empire if he becomes president? COO of a ten Billion dollar empire stretching across several continents and countries is quite a responsibility to pass off to a blind trust. Just wondering.
Daughter seems pretty sharp. Maybe she’s been being groomed?
A blind trust is required by law, and I doubt the blindness of most of them.
President Washington ran Mount Vernon while he was President so there’s no reason why Trump can’t do the same thing if he so desires.
But I imagine he’ll probably hire a competent manager like his daughter to run the family business.
I would imagine that he would turn things over to some of his family members. ?
He most likely has always had the best top level exec’s and project managers in place.
He can’t do it all and he can buy the best.
Donald Trump undoubtedly has educated, clever, talented, and highly-skilled people in his company.
That’s a good question. And what is he doing NOW? As he is devoting weeks and months in this presidential run?
A billion dollar CEO can’t just schluff off these things.
Jimmy Carter put his peanut business in a blind trust if I recall correctly.
Granted that Trump has more far flung business interests than Carter had with his family peanut warehousing business.
Trump is so into real estate and international trade that I’m sure people would watch actions as president, to see if they think he takes actions which would help his business interests.
I heard an interview where he said he has been transitioning
to other executives and reliable parties.
Trump’s Company is a Privately owned Family Business. His Children will run it.
Were these questions asked when Jimmy Carter was running for President. He owned a Privately owned Family Business, a Farm. Who ran his Business when he was Elected POTUS?
Same situation, except the Trump Organization s worth a whole lot more.
At least with Trump ... we'd KNOW he was conducting business and it would not be in the anonymity of a golf course ...
It’s already in good hands. That’s why he hires only the best. He really has very little actual work to do................................
The man obviously knows how to multitask, delegate, and choose good advisors which is yet another factor toward a good presidency. Its been lacking in presidents for a very long time.
How blind could the trust be? Not like most of its elements will be hidden from sight altogether, and whoever is selected to operate the trust cannot be altogether blind to signals from the Oval Office, whether sent consciously or by some subliminal message.
That is why God (or Wall Street) invented shell corporations.
He’s already said his kids will run the business plus he has a number of highly paid, highly qualified managers all over the place...
Trump explains that (again), here...

WSJ tour of his office, where he’s asked specifically about that.

Not our problem. Let the genie-ass Drumpf worry about that should he become POTUS.
Off topic, but in this picture Bill looks like he’s not long for this world........
I sure he will stay apprised by way of the family holiday dinner table.
