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.

This may be wild hyperbole, but it makes me think of George Washington, who everyone wanted and expected to make himself king after the first election. Yet he stepped down at the end of his term, knowing how critical to the future of the nation that example had to be. Walked right away from all that possible wealth and power.

I think even King George gave him props for that move, IIRC.

On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (December 19, 2016), the electors meet in their respective States to cast their votes for President and Vice President of the United States.

So why wouldn't Trump wait until after Dec 19 to have this meeting and press conference?

Amen brother. I also don’t believe anything will keep him from this either. God has a hand in all these events.

“Under pressure to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, Trump announced his plans

He's only been saying this is what he's going to do for a YEAR.

Proves these "reporters" have never listened to him. CLUELESS.

That is the date for all the Jill Stein-ish silliness to be over.

He has impeccable timing, it is after the Electoral College vote, which makes legal sense.

Key dates for Electoral College business are here.

Brief excerpt:

Of course, Jill Stein and her minions are doing everything they can to force the vote recount(s) to run past Dec 19.

Right but there’s also all this electoral silliness going on which should come to an end 12/19, so why wouldn’t Trump wait until after that?

Nobody watches or reads the “press” any more. Trump has intermediated them into oblivion . He gave his Thanksgiving Message on YouTube and has 30 million on twitter. The so called”pres” ( meaning dishonest political propagandists) are left to cover his unfiltered tweets!! It is absolutely hilarious.

Be of good cheer! It hasn’t happened in a long time. It is happening, now!

The press will never join in the celebration, and they hate this country, anyway, so I try to simply ignore them, or laugh when appropriate!

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

Don Jr also ran the leasing end of it. She was the creative director and project manager. Both did an excellent job -- it's beautiful.

Both Don Jr and Ivanka are older than The Donald was when he actually built the Trump Tower. They are probably more than ready to take over.
