Xzins, do you honestly think that Trump is prepared to sell off his real estate holdings, put his assets in a blind trust and fully disclose his finances? I just don't think he's prepared to do this.

That is not a law, iirc. It is an affectation by politicians. I would expect Trump to 'just say no.'

This is a paragraph from fortune.com. Elsewhere I've read that neither John Kerry nor Nancy Pelosi have blind trusts.

But despite the perks and the recent press, only a few federal lawmakers actually have a blind trust. According to the Senate ethics committee, just 7 out of 100 U.S. Senators have gone through the approval process to set one up. In the House of Representatives, the percentage is even smaller. As of 2010, only 12 of the 435 members of the House had an official blind trust, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And those numbers haven’t changed much in the past decade.

Where did you ever get the far fetched idea Trump would have to sell off his holdings, etc??? Trump has a well brought up family who can easily take the reins of his assets. No problem. I am certain he has prepared them to step in his shoes if they wanted to. You’re delusional to even suggest he’d have to divest himself of his wealth.

He’s already disclosed his finances.
