A CEO to Run America?

It is not a secret President Elect, Donald Trump, is a very business minded man and on taking his new position has decided to step down as CEO of the Trump Organization. A recent tweet by Trump stated that “The presidency was far more important task.”

As a result Trump will turnover his day to day operations to members of his family, possibly including Ivanka Trump. President Elect has stake in nearly 500 companies both foreign and domestic, his decision to give up his leadership position in the company is to avoid scandal.

There are no laws to stop the president elect from having businesses, it is only by tradition that past presidents have sold off assets or assigned a blind trust. So, what does that mean for the American citizens?

There is already mention of conflict after an international meeting Trump held with his wife Ivanka, immediately after a picture of Ivanka’s bracelet and where to get it was tweeted out. Many were outraged believing the tweet was sent out by her marketing team to increase sales of the bracelet. Trump’s plan to hand over his company to his kids, who ran his campaign for president could still lead to some very concerning questions.
