For generations, U.S. presidents have gone to great lengths to avoid potential conflicts of interest. When I was elected, I followed suit by placing my small business in a blind trust to assure our citizens that I would always put the country’s interests ahead of my own. It’s a vital presidential tradition. That’s why I find it a bit curious that our new commander-in-chief has been allowed to ignore it.
It’s genuinely insane and I don’t know how every remotely level headed person in the US isn’t marching on Washington.
3000 miles is a long way to march, for starters.
It turns out (with the right optics) none of that stuff really matters. Attention/fame trump all.
