January 11, 2017 – Trump divests himself from his business completely.  Even though the law doesn’t require him to do so, he did it anyway.  He handed everything over to his sons and a business partner.  He made sure there were no ties at all.  He is excluded from decisions.  He has no informational rights.  He has made sure that the company is making no international deals during his presidency.  He made sure that the is an ethics attorney signing off on all deals to make sure there are no conflicts of interest.  He even cancelled all deals that were already in the process but unfinished till now...costing him and his children and others tens of millions of dollars.  He did everything necessary to make sure that the American people have no reason to believe he is using the Oval Office for his own benefit. - http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/01/11/watch-live-trump-press-conference-trump-tower/
