Who can Trump sell to, anyone? If a Russian company offered $20B for Trump Corporation, how about that?

Is there anything for which this guy won't try to take credit?
RNC wasn't hacked because he told Reince to put strong protections in place.

a trustee decides all that, no?

Earlier he made it sound like Reince did it independently after surveying the landscape.

Stop asking him multi-prong and hypothetical questions.

1. he won't release his returns

2. he won't stop his involvement with his businesses

3. he gave foreign governments a new way to bribe him and the US Treasury

He made a funny!

Trump gets the money when sold. If someone overpays, then that's a possible bribe. While I enjoy a lot of the glib comments in this thread, it's not possible to eliminate the possibility of conflicts of interest given the current state of his business.

then he should resign

1. He admitted the Russians did the hacking.

2. He thinks hacking is bad, but this hacking brought up good, important things.

3. Did not directly answer if he had contact with Russia prior to the election.

Perhaps maybe Commander in Chief of the United States wasn't a good career path

Difficult. Not impossible by any means.

I'm not an expert, but wouldn't a true blind trust be the most ethical course of action?

That wasn't normal.

Will be soon though.

Yeah, it's the far easier way of resolving some of his conflicts. But even then, how do you make a prominent hotel/casino chain into a truly "blind" holding? You'd have to sell those properties.

CNN hosts seem to be bending over backward to "defend" Trump's decision to turn business over to Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Correct. But if he really wanted to eliminate his conflicts of interest he could sell the Trump Organization and put the proceeds into a blind trust. And the notion that he couldn't sell the Trump Organization for a fair price and without continuing conflicts is totally bogus. Not surprisingly he wants to have his cake and eat it, too.
