And Trump gets elected (even though it would probably take a fatal heart attack by Hillary to have that happen).
But suspending reality, what if he does get elected...what does he do with his business holdings?
Typically, situations like this would call for them to be put in a blind trust whereby he could not have anything to do with them while he was in office.
BUT, does anyone (even you avid Trump supporters) believe that he could keep his hands off and would trust anyone else to make the decisions...that he has always made by himself?
Trump's 500 businesses would pose 'unprecedented ethical dilemma' - Mar. 16, 2016
Quote:
CNNMoney interviewed ethics lawyers who worked for President George W. Bush, presidential candidates Bob Dole, John Kerry, John McCain and Mitt Romney, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. They all said that Trump would have more potential business conflicts than any former president.
Trump has not committed to selling his businesses, and instead he has said many times that his children and executives would manage them.
"This is certainly going to present an unprecedented ethical dilemma if Trump wins," said Kenneth Gross, a partner at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, who provided legal assistance to several presidential candidates during their campaigns. "He can't just get amnesia. He's stuck with the knowledge of what he owns."
