Meet the team Donald Trump has named for his administration

If Donald Trump brings any of his children into his administration, or gives them the company to run how will he navigate conflict-of-interest concerns that he promised during his campaign to avoid? His campaign team brushed the comments off as “locker room talk” and that he has changed because it was 10 years ago. Its reach is worldwide.

In Portland, Ore., and Oakland, Calif., protestors caused millions of dollars in damage to cars and businesses; they threw Molotov cocktails at police and graffitied buildings. Hotels the world over. Then there’s foreign investment in US properties, particularly from China and Russian Federation. In fact, the “university” is now out of business, with a fraud case pending even after Trump’s election.

And that’s just what we know. We don’t know whether he was play-acting when he carried on like a juvenile lout or when he played the role of a mature adult. Trump’s refusal to release his federal tax returns means there’s little detail available. They aim to associate the president-elect with chaos and delegitimize him from the outset.

The Democrats lost because they nominated the wrong candidate. He has conducted business with many different countries, including China, Azerbaijan and Uruguay. But rarely has an incoming president represented such potential for conflicts of interest.

In cities across the nation, protesters have taken to the streets carrying signs that read “Not my president”. There’s no ethical playbook to follow.

“Donald trusts no one more than he trusts Ivanka, Donald Jr, and Eric”.

“When you say you’re turning your business over to your children and you also put your children on your transition team, I think we’re already seeing the potential for undermining his presidency”, she said, urging the president-elect to “put a clear and bright line between his businesses and his administration”.

There is no law that requires a president to divest himself of his financial interests before taking office. The recent interview on “60 Minutes” could be a hint of what could come. If there is a lesson here, it may be that Trump still cares about élite opinion.

Showmanship remains central to Trump, who on Thursday held his first meeting as president-elect with a foreign leader, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan.

Since Trump has no experience with government and politics, let alone at the presidential level, it is crucial who he places around him to advise and guide him.

Trump aides lied to the press pool, telling the staffers “the lid was on”, meaning there would be no more news that night, and the pool’s photographers, reporters and producers could go home, Forbes.com reported. The family should make public the lease agreement. And unlike President Obama, when Trump takes office, he must call out lawless behavior disguised as protests when it threatens the lives and property of USA citizens. Or this tweet: “Donald J. Trump now has the chance to become one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived – we have the moral high ground, 100%!”

When President-elect Donald Trump visited the White House last week, he was reportedly surprised to learn that he’ll need to replace almost the entire staff. The government is not, or shouldn’t be, a family business. In such a complex empire, only the drastic answer of selling all his holdings would create complete separation.

But critics say it’s crucial for Trump’s overseas interests.

Demagogues like Hillary Clinton can point to the fact that women as a group do not receive as much income as men as a group. Now it’s his turn to be in that spotlight. I’m going to surround myself with the best furnishings.

Indeed, he argues that almost half of voters will be morally responsible for any acts of racism, sexism or xenophobia that occur during the Trump administration. Daewoo is involved in nuclear energy. But it is fully in Trump’s power, so long as he doesn’t show irritation or anger, to see that they backfire.

The US is not the only country faced with a surge in right-wing populism. Shoppers headed to Gucci and Tiffany stores in Trump Tower were allowed in recently after they were questioned and their bags were searched, according to The New York Times.
