Who Knows?

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.

Jimmah’s business was decimated, according to him, by the blind trust.
Trump has said his children are prepared to take over the reins of his holdings.

Donald Trump undoubtedly has educated, clever, talented, and highly-skilled people in his company.

That is a definite plus for Trump, imo.

Presumably, he would do the same running this country if he should get elected.

Personally, I hope he has to face that problem.

I guess time will tell.

This time around I hope I have the option of voting FOR either Trump or Cruz, the others I might have to skip.

After the last two elections, I had to vote against Obama, not for our guys.

Obviously, Trump would be wise to follow the same path Barack Obama did when he became President by delegating the reigns of his corporate empire to one of his brightest top-level managers. I mean, a guy like Obama doesn't get to the top of the corporate world by surrounding himself with buffoons. Years and Years of work to establish a capitalist tour de force made Obama what he is, a business juggernaut.

A billion dollar CEO can’t just schluff off these things.

Sure they can.........You'd be surprised at the number of major corporations (such as the one I used to work for)whose Boards of Directors are made up of decision makers who don't even work for the corporation and only meet maybe twice a year.......

I think Jimmy Carter’s wealth was just peanuts compared to Trumps.

This question has been asked and answered many, many times. His adult children are responsible, business savvy adults.(How did that happen?)

His management team is top notch as well, so 'no worries' as the Aussies put it.

There are many reports of folks who have visited his offices and met his staff which includes his kin. The claim is that they are very humble, unpretentious, quiet, efficient workers.

“Bill looks like he’s not long for this world........”

His health, or because he’s yelling at the “O”?

Berlusconi in Italy had the same situation, billionaire elected as Premier, I think he put his assets in a blind trust.

He got in trouble because of dalliances with mistresses and hookers, hopefully President Trump will know better!
