WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will be leaving his far-flung business “in total” to focus on running the country and will outline the plan in a Dec. 15 news conference with his family.

@@@@@@@

“I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said.

Recount in Wisconsin could take 12 days.

And IIRC reading that recount wouldn’t be enough to flip PA, With, and MI.

It won't. They're doing this to set the stage for the meme that Trump's Presidency is "illegitimate": something that they'll repeat for the next four years, in preparation for 2020.

He should announce an IPO and take company public. Then watch the libtards heads explode.

Oh, what a stroke of genius. It would raise billions of dollars of capital, but it would allow too much interference from public busy bodies.

The Trump kids would maintain 51% {or more} of the stock and imagine the amount of cash that would pour in from Trump supporters and smart investors.

I'd put $50K in just because I know that during Trump's Presidential run, and with the kids running the business, that stock would go up and stay up.

The libs would piss their depends on a daily basis.

As many here I am fan of business, how they are run, the legal end of it etc. So I am curious as to how he spins this off, stays hands off and possibly go back to it after leaving office.

Trust, Blind Trust, (?) spinning off income so that he, Melania and Barron can live ( remember he is taking $1 as POTUS ) and yet keep an arms distance length and stay away from all the DNC gnomes that will be giving any Trump Inc deal a full exam, which you know they will.

My guess is his Accountants and Attorneys have been working overtime coming up with a workable framework.

Yup.

And Jill herself said the recount wouldn’t flip them:

It will be after the states finish the recount drama. But I agree with you on all the other points. This man truly loves his country.

You're so right. They're dusting off the old tactics they used against Bush 43 ("Selected, not elected"). Difference is, Trump's not going to just sit there and take it.

I wonder if this was anything to do with topics discussed with Romney - since he does have restructuring expertise.

“Hey Mitt, thanks for coming. About that SoS, yeah - listen, got something more important you can help me with...”

I believe it’s a corporation, even if a private corporation, so he can put anyone in charge of the day to day running of the corporation.

They don’t ask Goldman Sachs to close their business every time one of their big wigs takes a government job.

i don’t think Trump is doing this for the press’ benefit, but for us - the people.

If I had a dollar for EVERY time I’d wished W would’ve just come back at the press with SOMETHING....ANYTHING, against their lies/fabrications.....I’d be sitting on a nice stack of cash.

I think that had to be one of THE most frustrating things about the guy.

Indeed....Trump is NOT going to sit there and take it, like Bush did. SO refreshing!!

Trump’s hotel in DC was all his daughter’s work, so I think the kids are more than capable of running things.

Plus, he’ll be aching to get back in in 8 years.

As I told my wife, I am totally convinced that God has raised up this guy for this very moment in history. I know he isn’t perfect, but the timing of all this and the symmetry of Trump in relation to the needs of the country are beyond coincidental.

It’s 515 LLCs and corporations. I don’t know what ties them all together.

I’m not a lawyer of any kind, so the difference between an LLC and any other kind of corporation is lost on me. What I do know is that the corporation is responsible and not individuals within the corporation.

That suggests to me that any individual can step outside the corporation and be free of it.

Was listening to pukes on CNN talking about conflicts of interest and how difficult it is for Trump to avoid it, as if he doesn’t have legal counsel already working on the problems and he’s clueless unless he talks to media pukes about it, and let them help him.
