I was merely responding to the point that suggests that because Trump takes no donations ( and others do) that he is not financially conflicted- arguably, he’s more conflicted than any of them since his personal financial holdings run into the billions, and are global.
Fair enough. But again, if he uses the Presidency as a vehicle to enrich himself at the expense of the country, it will be hard to hide. Other candidates, while having less personal wealth at stake are so dependent on others (backers, lobbyists, etc.), that it’s not always obvious that they’re doing something out of self interest when they are. It’s all in the shadows, because the relationships are largely hidden from the public. It will be harder for Trump to hide such self-interested actions than it is for your typical bought and paid for politician.
