Fact: Not true. He is the only president to date to not do so.
Bingo. Even Arpy's not too dumb to understand Trump hasn't divested a thing.

Fact: Not true. He is the only president to date to not do so. He is hands on and calls to see how business is going (Rick Reilly books and articles). His business profits at your expense every time he deliberately chooses to golf at a Trump course. https://trumpgolfcount.com
Trump told a news conference he would resign from all positions overseeing his hotels, golf courses and hundreds of other businesses and move his assets into a trust to help ensure that he will not consciously take actions as president that would benefit him personally.

Two years later, Trump has kept at least eight of his promises – though sometimes in ways experts said did little to resolve the conflicts. But information about his business is so secretive that for nearly all the rest, the only way to know whether Trump kept his promise is to take his word for it.

Rapey, you disingenuous fuckwaffle.
45 told a group of deplorables that, "We kept more promises than we even made!"
The deplorables ate it up.
Bingo. Even Arpy's not too dumb to understand Trump hasn't divested a thing.
Nevermind, I read that wrong. You're still a dumbshit tho.
Poor poor luk, reduced to salvaging his pride by falsifying facts.
Shameful really.

Lies.
Let us deal with Lie #2 first:
From 2017:
From 2019:
Show us the EVIDENCE which supports your claim here and which contradicts the facts. Spare us the hyperbole and "personal opinion"; you made a fact based claim, back it up with stats and sources.
and now to deal with Lie #1:
Jimmy Carter inherited his family peanut farm. He still owned that farm and relied upon the profits from it's operations while he was President. During his tenure as President he promoted and eventually signed an Ag bill to benefit farmers. A bill which DIRECTLY affected and increased his profits from his peanut farm.
Show us the bill Trump has signed which DIRECTLY benefits his family business. Show us where Carter divested himself from his wealth to the extent you demand Trump do so.

Let me make sure I understand what you're saying. Trump promises to do something and that makes it true? Lying is his resting position. What's more, your own referenced article basically says "who knows if he's still involved with his businesses?" So he stepped down from official positions, he still can have a powerful say. You don't think he checks up on how things are going with his kids? Or gives them advice?

I couldn't find the Rick Reilly quote from a golf course manager about Trump calling to check on how business was. Was in his book Cheater in Chief, though, but didn't make articles.
Wrong. Carter put his farm into a blind trust. That's what presidents are supposed to do. Trump has not.

Awwww.. Not sticking up for Queball any more?
You're either naive stupid or both. I'll go with the latter.
We gotta take trumps word for it? Are you high?
Irony totally escapes you.
Not that that isn't unexpected.
I take FACTS over salacious opinion.
And, I'm at sea level today.
Did you read it wrong? You do that a lot.
You're going on the fact that someone claims, though they have no facts to back it up, that Trump isn't doing what he promised? Even thought the linky says he's kept at least 8 of his promises on this?
Really? That's your basis? An unverified assumption is proof he's "hiding something" even though what we can see and verify shows he's not?
Give us a break and seek medical help for your TDS.
SHOW US the law which says that Presidents are "supposed to" put their assets into a blind trust.
SHOW US where putting your assets into a blind trust means you don't profit from those assets anyway.
SHOW US where Trump has passed laws which directly affect his family business operations and profits.
SHOW US.
We'll wait. But not forever. It's put up or shut up time.
Trumps word...Mr 10000 lies?
At one time I posted the law these folks like to say prohibits the President from having business interests while in office, actually exempts the President and the Vice President, and the other day I posted a legal analysis by a prominent legal scholar saying the Emoluments Clause cannot apply to a President.![]()

You apparently ignored the links I gave you.
However, your linked article basically disproves your point. 8 promises kept out of 19 is nothing to be proud of and is not proof he is not involved with his businesses.
It's not proof that he still is either. Yet, when faced with FACTS which show he is appearing to abide by most of his promises, absent PROOF, one should tend to believe that he is also keeping the others.
What can you see that verifies he's not involved with his businesses?
See the linky I put up. There are also others if you google for them which show the same. Of course some of them are hysterical, but the evidence is the same.
Unverified assumption...what on earth are you talking about??
Well, you see, when you claim to have evidence, but your evidence isn't apparent anywhere except you saying so, that's called "unverified". What you have done is blind cite to a book which may or may not state what you say which support is supposedly a personal experience by the book's author. No cite, no quote, no nothing. Just you saying that the author of some book says he personally knows differently than the citeable sources do.
You're the one being awfully strident.
Defending others in the face of a concerted attack isn't strident, it's my job.
Right. If it was an actual law he'd have had to do it. What does it tell you that he's the only president to adamantly refuse to do so?
Umm, that he's not breaking the law?
I assume if you've got good trustees, or whatever the folk who run a blind trust for you are called, you can profit from assets when you get back to being a private citizen.
Yep. Unless you're Trump. Then you can't because that would "bad".
The tax cuts sure as shit helped him.
They helped everyone. OTOH, the Ag Bill signed by Carter helped HIM specifically.
Simmer down, sounds like you're about to stroke out.
