Introducing it and getting it passed are two different things.

Trump won’t do this and never should. These people will find a way to turn him and his family into a poor man. They wouldn’t be satisfied any other way. Good bye angry woman

Has anyone had the nerve to tell her that her party doesn’t control the legislature?

Just as they kept sticking to “scandals” during the campaign, they will keep sticking to other losing arguments during his Presidency - it will only make him stronger and them weaker but it’s all they have - especially with the “Russians stole the election” crap disintegrating.

“Trump won’t do this and never should.”

Exactly. How much money are the Kennedy's worth? How much are the Bush's worth? How much is Pelosi worth, and has she divested from what she owns? When politicians write books about themselves, like Obama, using their political career to boost sales, why is that is that any different than Trump keeping his business?

This is really rich, Hitlery increases here billionaire status as SOS with her various pay for play schemes and whatever with their foundation. Little to none of being legal while holding office or not.

And she’s given a free pass by the entire establishment.

Along comes Trump, a successful businessman, who make his wealth legally, and they expect him to give up his source of income.

There’s just nothing wrong with this picture, is there?

That’s true. But Trump really does need to really divest himself of his personal business interests. If he doesn’t then he’s not getting me to just give him blank check support.

What I’d like to see him and the rest of the billionaires and all of Congress do is put almost all their wealth into US Treasuries. If they want to use some exotic cattle ranch, beach resort, or other luxury they can use their US Treasuries’ interest payments to rent such places. What it would do is help strengthen the dollar as Congress/President and the big money will be heavily focused on putting America first and getting our government’s finances in good order.

This is fake news about a manufactured issue.

Here is CNN article from November 11, 2016, more than a month ago:

The one big difference is without being in politicians they wouldn’t have made any money. Trump made money without having political power to tilt the scale in his favor. They are rich because they are crooks for the most part.
