WASHINGTON — Rudolph W. Giuliani, a top adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, said on Sunday that it would be “unrealistic” to remove Mr. Trump’s children from their roles in running his business empire and place the assets into a strict blind trust like the ones used by previous presidents.

I watched the segment. Jake Tapper was very obnoxious in the way he framed the questions. Rudy was gentile but firm.
When the Trump Justice Department gets started, the RAT lawyers will a be busy trying to keep the entire Democrat Party out of jail.
Trump and his lawyers will need to do much better than that if the goal is to keep the organization going during his presidency. Didnt’ we just go after Hillary and her shady Clinton Foundation? The public will be very quick to let Donald know that they don’t care about whether his kids have these high powered jobs. Seems to me enough people should own Trump enough favors to find positions for these three talented people for a while.
The left do not have a leg here for Trump’s children not to run the day-to-day operations of their companies, but they’ll attempt to BS it.
Rudy is a gentile! I know, I know, all New Yorkers are Jewish and all Midwestern Jews are gentiles. So said Lenny Bruce.
Auto correct strikes again! ;-)
I saw Tapper harping on this particular fixation. What a stupid man! I kept visualizing in my mind: “I see stupid people. They don’t know they’re stupid.”
Auto-correct is a menace!
Trapper was an obnoxious prick in that segment.
There is no conflict of interest with owning hotels and golf courses and being president. If Trump has a varied stock portfolio, there might be a need to put that in a blind trust.
An attorney on the news said that although there are positions in DC where a person must do a blind trust with his personal business. “President” isn’t one of them. (Surprisingly.)
Regardless of whether it's *required* or not it's *wise* for him to be very careful.Remember,in Rat Party-speak it's not the validity of the charge,it's the seriousness.
If Trump has a concrete company near Mexico he should divest.
I always felt the blind trusts only served to hide what’s happening from public scrutiny.
The MSM Mafia’s line will be “Trump wants to decrease taxes for his companies. Trump needs to be impeached.”
Oh, yeah; definitely! THEY will jump on him for any reason, so no sense in providing fodder. I was just commenting on the law.
“”Didn’t we just go after Hillary and her shady Clinton Foundation? The public will be very quick to let Donald know >>>>>>>> “”
Except most of Hillary’s voters are still sitting around saying, “the Clinton what”? They are clueless - hence their votes!!
I still don’t get Freepers who think that a Conservative can do anything that will prevent the progressives from attacking us about something. Especially after Donald J Trump has just shown how you defeat them. When the Clinton indictments start rolling in, the progressive media will be very busy.
