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."

“They said their ad buy covers all markets. ????”

That is,no doubt,the reason for the Red Lobster ads.

The ads are very tempting,though.:-)

If you have never been to Golden Corral and go there with any expectations it will be a one-and-done.

The WP story on this tried to make it sound like a scandal, and incorrectly reported that the stock market had been on a “steady rise” since June. Fake news. It was actually in a slight decline, and did not rebound until Trump won the election.

Interesting you say that. When I lived in York, PA there was a GC in the west end. When it first opened it was fantastic. But lousy mgt. began to come to light, in dirty surroundings, etc., and at the end, mice and other vermin running around. It was finally torn down and a Chili’s now occupies that spot.

The high and mighty will turn up their noses at RL. But even country hicks like me can appreciate decent, tasty, nicely presented seafood. Everywhere I’ve travelled, both RL and Olive Garden are usually jammed and often with a 30 min. and up minimum wait to be seated.

No RL in MA. Probably because there are plenty of local, non-chain seafood restaurants there along the coast. We spend lottsa time in Ocean City, MD. No RL there, either, for the same reason. Too much local competition.

Huh? So if Trump took actions that hurt this company he 'has' stock in, how is that a conflict of interest? he's hurting the company, not giving it a special status...
