If Conservatives don't think Trump should divest, are they admitting the pay-4-play attacks on Clinton were BS?

Just one thing. We knew fully about Trump's businesses, and we happily elected him in spite of it.

I voted for Trump and did so knowing he would enter office with unprecedented and very real conflicts of interest, not that it mattered in my state of Illinois. That I voted for him does not mean I drank the Kool Aid.

I am more interested in the " Chinese Wall" that will be erected between Trump and Trump Org than I am a wall along the border. Allowing the heir apparents to help vet potential cabinet members, listen in on phone calls, sit meetings and lobby GOP Congress members is bizarre.

That is a major character flaw.

Trump built an empire in the private sector, has so much wealth that he won't be impressed by potential largess from those that would try to buy access.
He's above that, and that is refreshing.
That's why he was elected overwhelmingly.

The Clintons wealth is derived primarily from Bill's speaker fees.

Many current and most ex politicians and CEOs do the same thing.

Trump was elected because of better messaging, tax cuts and jobs.

He will not be the savior many of his believers expect nor will he be the destructor, his opponents fear.

Every POTUS does the best they can with the cards they are dealt.
