Hasn't he already said the plans are to transfer everything to his kids?
So someone explain to me why this is a big deal but wasn't with Clinton Foundation? I guess selling a real product/service is worse than taking in millions of dollars in "donations"
Oh wait, hold on....
By US Official, do you mean like a Secretary of State maybe?

Richard Painter, a former ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, says Trump needs to divest from any part of his businesses that interact with foreign governments. “To satisfy the Constitution, he needs to make sure he does not own companies that are accepting payments from foreign government or corporations owned by foreign governments,” Painter told ABC News.

“The Constitution was deliberately written to forbid a U.S. official, particularly a president, from accepting a profit from a foreign government or from some entity representing a foreign government. The reason for that was the long experience of European corruption,” Tribe said.

Exactly! Was saying this from the get go, Trump actually built a real estate empire by putting his fortune at risk and Clinton built a fortune by putting the US at risk.

Seriously....y'all rejected Clinton partially because you felt she was corrupt and had used her position for personal gain...but it is OK if Trump does it because Clinton did it? This is how we get into situations like Clinton running for president because at least half of us are willing to overlook anything and will accept anything if we can ascribe it to the opposition....
