President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday he is leaving his multi-million dollar businesses to focus on being president a change from comments hes made in the past about being able to juggle both.
"I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to make America great again," he said in a series of early morning tweets. "While I am not mandated to do this under the law, I feel it is visually important, as president, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses."
Trump said legal documents were being drafted that would take him completely out of business operations and added that the presidency is a far more important task!

This is really good news. A huge thank you should go to President Trump! The leftists were licking their lips in anticipation of finding ways to impeach him as soon as the new year dawns. Maybe now they will not be able to even hint that they are going to do that.
as president, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses.” .................................... LOL, wait till CNN and the rest of the media believe that. It ain’t gonna happen!
Speculation among Republicans is that is the purpose behind the Romney interviews — Mitt Romney will be heading up the organization tending the President’s businesses. Yes, his children will be operating inside the organization headed up by Romney.
The way the MSM is treating this proves they’ve never really listened to what Trump has been saying for a year and a half. He has always said he would do this and put his kids in charge.
Twitter was upset last night that his restaurant was getting free advertising.
Checkmate, CNN
No way am I buying that! No way he’d put that snake in charge of his empire with his kids reporting to Romney. No way!
now the left will demand he change his name...
Once again... he faked them right out of their jockstrap.
“...is multi-million dollar businesses...”???
Geeze, you people really are knobs...
I’m not seeing how any of his businesses would present a conflict of interest.
Think of Romney as the CEO and the kids as the Board of Directors.
That would be a remarkable turn of events. It might even be the perfect move for both of these men to make.
It was always unrealistic to think he could do both.
Trump knows this. His kids are more than capable.
The leftist media, if it had an honor, should commit mass suicide.
It spends every waking hour scheming how to take Trump down a notch.
They care nothing for the country or it’s legal citizens. They will never give Trump a chance to succeed and if he did they would call it a failure anyhow.
Jump jump jump jump!
[Speculation among Republicans is that is the purpose behind the Romney interviews Mitt Romney will be heading up the organization tending the Presidents businesses.]
That thought crossed my mind also. The children will run the business, and ROMNEY will be the filter between TRUMP and his business.
Like him or not, no one can deny that Trump has given a lot and will sacrifice much more to become president.
There are reports that he has spent hundreds of millions of his own money to win the presidency.
How much of her own money do you think Hillary spent?
The nation swoons over people like Obama and the Clintons who are lauded for their public service.
But they sacrifice little and end up making millions.
They don’t spend their own money and they don’t endanger their own non-government income the way Trump has.
They run for election on the money of others, live off the taxpayer and then profit from their experience.
For people like the Clintons public service isn’t a sacrifice, it is a guaranteed path to easy wealth.
The Washington Times reported that Hillary got a $14 million dollar advance for her book that had dismal sales of around $7 million.
Bill Clinton received a similar amount for his memoirs.
And of course they have their various other scams going that all bring in money based on their government connections and (supposed) influence.
Then there is Barack Obama.
Imagine what kind of book offers are coming his way right now.
The take from his government experience is guaranteed to make that of the Clintons look like petty cash.
No. No. You misunderstand! He offered Romney the job of Permanent Latrine Orderly
