George Washington owned Mt. Vernon, an enterprise of 8,000 acres with multiple small manufacturing businesses.
He had dozens of contracts with international interests for export of goods and commodities. Hell, he was even in the tobacco and liquor business.
His wealth was enormous.
And he divested nothing.
Also, I’m certain Warren never even gave a thought to whether such legislation would pass both houses or be signed by the POTUS. Or whether, if done under Obama, how to enforce it.
Because it’s NOT ENFORCEABLE.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying since the first time this foolishness started. I don’t want DJT to sell so much as a bedsheet (or show his taxes - that is personal information and none of anybody’s business) Did Washington sell off all his assets? NO. Did Jefferson sell off all his assets? NO. Did Madison sell off all his assets? NO. I don’t know what Teddy Roosevelt or FDR did but I’ll bet the farm they didn’t dispose of ANY of their many assets. I can’t overstate how much I despise these people.
