I think pretty much everyone knew he was going to do this. Because this is just the kind of person he is.
But it’s a top news bit today.
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday he is leaving his multi-million dollar businesses to focus on being president – a change from comments he’s 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!”
…
Trump said previously that he’d leave his business operations to his three eldest children – Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka – though it wasn’t clear from his tweets Wednesday that was still the case.
Reince Priebus, Trump’s incoming White House chief of staff, said Wednesday “that’ll all be worked out.”
Priebus told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” that Trump has “got the best people in America working on it.” Priebus demurred when asked if Trump planned to put his businesses in a blind trust — as presidents have traditionally done — or leave them in his children’s hands.
“I’m not ready to reveal that really,” Priebus said.
Priebus added that Trump’s business acumen and the many business interests he has as a result of it is “nothing to be ashamed about.” He said Trump is “taking seriously” the issue of possible conflicts of interest.
“We’re making sure that all those conflicts are taken care of,” Priebus said. He said the applicable rules and regulations “are very vague” and that’s Trump’s people are “doing the best job we can.”
Priebus said the country hasn’t seen a president of such business acumen before and that the rules and regulations “don’t contemplate this scenario.”
…No previous commander in chief has brought with him such a sprawling business empire with so much complexity, opaqueness and opportunity for self-dealing as Trump.
Trump owns golf clubs, office towers and other properties in several countries. He holds ownership stakes in more than 500 companies. He has struck licensing deals for use of his name on hotels and other buildings around the world and has been landing new business in the Middle East, India and South America.
Here’s the Priebus interview.
