>Trump is not the first wealthy person to lead a government. Traditionally, business interests are deposited into blind trusts meaning the politician has no influence over and usually no knowledge of the disposition of assets, meaning there's no point paying bribes or other payments from foreign government in exchange for favors. The multi-millionaire PMs of Australia and New Zealand both moved their assets into blind trusts which thwarted the desire for detractors to keep shouting "Wolf."

Passing everything to the kids with certain legal cut-offs in place, may be sufficient to prevent people shouting "Wolf" in the US as well. If he has any sense at all, this is already well-advanced.

There is no discussion of a blind trust. However, I did say "as things stand now." I'll be happy to see a better resolution because it's clear to me that the current situation or Trump's kids (who are, after all, also on the transition committee) is a recipe for corruption.


>FWIW, when similar concerns arose re HRC, she promised that her charity would be at arm's length from her role as SoS and Bill said she'd disengage completely from her charity once elected POTUS. Did you accept those undertakings? Well, Trump has made undertakings as well and rather than always looking for fault, why not give him a chance? If he lets you down, I'll be on your side because the need to separate favor from personal benefit isn't about each nation's particular federal law, it's about the integrity of democracy,

As I just said in another message, we'll never know since she wasn't elected.
