I'm just curious of your thought process. Thanks in advance for your response. If possible please keep your response civil. I am not attacking you or Trump.

1) No
2) Yes.
Now my turn. Please point to any career/ federal politician or czar who hasn't made a fortunate while in office and after leaving?
Do you believe these politicians all became rich without encountering conflicts of interest? Do you discount that quid pro quo agreements were struck while they were in office and now they all seem to land comfortable on their feet in very lucrative positions.
Trump is rich. His brand "Trump"is what he sells. How do you suppose he will be able to ever divest himself of his business since his name is known worldwide.. If he sold every last asset people will still believe that he has a conflict. He is a businessman and business is his business.
Now let's point to lawyer who are politicians and that most of what they legislate rewards their profession and hence them. Are there not continuing conflicts of interest such as implementing regulations leaving office and becoming a regulator or employed by a corporation to oversee the regulations you as legislator implemented?, etc etc etc
For God sake this nonsense going on about Trump amounts to two basic themes. Liberals lost and they can't handle it. And if they can't reverse the elections results then at least they can continue their agenda of diminishing the Trump presidency. Essentially liberals are willing to burn the entire house down to get their way
