But what "normal" Presidents are you referring to?
The only President's in "modern" times with this level of wealth was Roosevelt and Kennedy.
Those family businesses were not put in any "blind trust".
I can't even imagine what would happen to ANY business if it were stuck into a "blind trust" and left to rot for years.
Especially when he has his family running the business anyway. (just like the Kennedy family did).
Why on Earth would you want to destroy a lifetime's achievement just to make some politicians happy (and destroying Trump is exactly what would make them happy).
I wouldn't do it. It's not any law that says he has to. If there were such a law he probably wouldn't even have run and we could all consign ourselves to always having un-exceptional Presidents for the rest of history.
As it stands now...the very best and brightest can still run for President (even though the media and the bureaucrats have done their best to brainwash people into thinking it's impossible for anyone but corrupt politicians to do it)
