Since the subject of Trump and his golf courses came up, I have a question.

There was a rule about what investments a president can keep after taking office. This was to keep a president from ruling based on what helped his own investments.

Could this force Trump to have to sell off his golf courses and casinos?

I’m no legal expert, but I think there are ways to divest or move assets into entities where Trump can cede direct control to others — possibly his kids or other executives.

No.
