Ok seriously? The last President who left Washington broke was Truman. Everyone else left rich. So let's be honest here shall we? Trump doesn't own weapons manufacturing plants so the chances of his starting a war or pressuring the military to buy his weapons is nil. What does he own? Trump Towers here and there. Some golf courses. Stuff like that. So he could suggest that a delegation from the State Department stay in a Trump Tower while negotiating a trade agreement. So what? What is the difference if they stay there as opposed to a Hilton so Paris can donate money to the Clinton's?
Perhaps he can use insider information to play the market. Well Congress does that all the damned time since the law they passed on me and thee doesn't apply to them.
So he doesn't divest. So the bad part there is instead of screwing up the nation since according to the Democratic side Trump is a blithering idiot he will screw up his own company. But how much can he really do? He could turn the White House into the most boring reality show in history.
What you've missed here is all the corruption you are so worried about has been happening and is happening right now. You act like Washington is where good and honorable folk head to work. Like every elected official is Mr. Smith.
In reality Trump isn't going to have time to spend on the business. He is going to be lucky to get six hours of sleep a night. Most nights he will get less. Everyone is going to have something for his attention and his schedule is going to be packed for every minute of the day.
He might get a note about the biz now and then but mostly he is going to have meetings, briefings, and then discussions so he can issue those directives he has to.
He just isn't going to have time to figure out how to get the Ambassador to hold all gatherings at the Trump Golf course and resort.
