Donald Trump sold all of his stock holdings in June, a transition spokesman said Tuesday, potentially helping the president-elect avoid some conflicts of interest when he takes office in January.

The sales could not immediately be confirmed with official documents.

Trump's potential investment conflicts came to the forefront Tuesday, as he threatened to cancel a Boeing contract for a new Air Force One, saying it was too expensive. Trump previously owned shares of the aerospace and defense giant.

When asked about the Boeing shares, Trump spokesman Jason Miller told reporters Tuesday that Trump "sold all his stock in June."

Of course Trump sold all his holdings! He heard all the reports about how the stock market would totally crash if he won.

[TheStickman]

Trump wins again!!!

All this winning is nice :)

[Spok]

Isn’t it odd how as soon as Trump gets elected the phrase “conflict of interest” is suddenly in the left’s lexicon? And, as with everything else, they act as though they invented it!

[ClearCase_guy]

“But Trump hasn’t paid taxes in years!!!!”

Well ... he’s probably going to pay a lot next time.

They’re playing checkers. Trump’s playing take no prisoners ninjutsu on their pointy liberal heads.

[rockrr]

Ha! He did exactly what the whiners want him to do. But I’m sure they’ll find a way to negatively spin this against him.

Maybe I'll soon have enough saved up for my Red Lobster fave. I don't remember the exact name. Something or other "Beach Clambake"; with 2 lobster tails, mussels, shrimp, linguini, and with a side of whipped spuds. I always order extra drawn butter and dump the butter and potatos into the charger with the rest. And I have the physique to prove it. 😊

There is no Red Lobster in MA yet they have been advertising here for many years-—I’ve always wanted to try one.

A few years ago we were seeing TV ads for Golden Corral every evening here near Harrisburg, although the nearest one is over 100 miles north. I contacted Corp. Offices and asked why. They said their ad buy covers all markets. ????
