Trump says his sons will do no new deals once they take over his business

Trump says his sons will do ‘no new deals’ once they take over his business
Michael Finnegan
Los Angeles Times (via Raw Story)

Donald Trump said Monday night that his sons Eric and Donald Jr. would run his sprawling network of businesses after his Jan. 20 inauguration, but would do "no new deals" during his presidency.

Trump said last month that he would hold a "major news conference" on Dec. 15 to disclose how he would avoid conflicts of interest in the White House. But a Trump spokeswoman said Monday that the announcement had been pushed back to January to give legal advisers more time to establish "proper protocol."

What does that even mean? What a ridiculous thing to claim.
Trump needs to divest and put the proceeds in a blind trust
as other Presidents have ethically done.

doesn't lose money?

Business is like a shark: it either swims or dies.

What Trump said makes no sense.

That he'll be making for the next 4 years? Why's that the first time he musters up linear thought?
