Don the con says he will disassociate himself from his businesses if he becomes president. He says

his children will run them. Nothing could be suspicious about that. Anyway, my point is if that is good enough for him why can't HRC disassociate herself from the Clinton Foundation and let Bill Clinton run it? What could possibly go wrong with any of these plans?

I'd bet that the only way he's worth the $4 billion he claims is because he values his brand as being worth at least $3.9 billion.

a real businessman, like ross perot, could easily sell what he created (which i think he did long before he ran for president). but trump's businesses are pretty valueless without trump himself. not to say that they have much value with him either....

Is concentrating on, they should be focusing on Trumps businesses. This is a serious thing that could no kidding affect national security and the economy. He has a huge conflict of interest.

What happens when something going on in a foreign country would do great damage to one of his businesses? What happens when the response that's best for the USA is not good for his business? I suspect I know what would influence his decision the most.
