I thought Trump went way out of his way to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.
Contrast him with Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
The primary standard for the federal government and federal officials isn't some murky, relative/situation ethics, but the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
The Constitution is ALWAYS the issue when it comes to the feds. I'm not sure what if anything in the Constitution addresses this other than Art II, Sec 4 regarding bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors. Trump is using good instincts and avoidance of evil appearances and temptations by giving over the reins of his company.
Of course if Art II, Sec 4 were actually followed, most of the D.C. swamp would be drained.
Switching gears but not relevancy, the Left thinks the Constitution doesn't apply to them. Some on the Right still take the Constitution seriously. Anyone who loves liberty should. The Constitution is the only legal bulwark standing between our freedom and absolute tyranny. It is, therefore, imminently imperative that the Constitution be applied to cut the 70% to 80% unconstitutional portion of the $4 trillion federal government and stuff it back into its constitutional cage where it belongs.
I think the MSM won’t be satisfied until Trump is stripped down to his shorts. Then they’ll complain that his shorts were made in China. If he then switches to American-made shorts, they’ll accuse him of starting a trade war with China.
I think President-elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump is making all the right moves.
The left can scream and holler, but I’m not seeing anything stick. Haven’t for, what? Over a YEAR now of DAILY attacks and smears?
Winning! :)
