Right thing to do. He would have been under constant attack by the left otherwise.

Quote:President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday he will completely sever his ties with The Trump Organization to avoid a conflict of interest.

The full details of the announcement will come at a joint press conference with Trump and his children on Dec 15.

Trump is under no obligation to leave his business as he noted in his announcement. The president and vice president are exempt from the Office of Government Ethics.

That is excellent news. Way to go Trumpster.

He really does need to place all his attention on being President. Somehow, he has to have confidence in his kids, or whoever he trusts, to run the business for the next 8 years.

I do wonder why the President and Vice President are exempt from this... Could it be considered Unconstitutional to place a restriction or requirement on the presidency? Outside of being 35 and US born?
