The built in conflicts of interest of a far-flung business empire are kind of apparent to an auditor with tens of thousands of hours experience.
You bet I concluded this would be a problem long ago. Yet for you, this is a problem?

The Misconception: Your opinions are the result of years of rational, objective analysis.
The Truth: Your opinions are the result of years of paying attention to information which confirmed what you believed while ignoring information which challenged your preconceived notions.
Krebs has researched purchasing trends on Amazon and the clustering habits of people on social networks for years, and his research shows what psychological research into confirmation bias predicts: you want to be right about how you see the world, so you seek out information which confirms your beliefs and avoid contradictory evidence and opinions
Avoiding contradictory opinions = avoiding answering important questions about the weakness of one's beliefs.
Just FYI.
Do you not think Trump will be consulting with attorneys prior to assuming the presidency regarding this? He is not as stupid as you seem to think he is.The built in conflicts of interest of a far-flung business empire are kind of apparent to an auditor with tens of thousands of hours experience.

Thanks for the FYI. I am sure I don't have any idea what confirmation bias is.
He really is. It is the one thing he can't fake.
You cannot listen to anything the man has said in person that alludes to a sharp intellect. The guy is a crayon.

Donald Trump postpones news conference until JanuaryNo we won't.
He is going to blather on about how good his hotel is, and he won't do anything but continue to directly profit from being president.
That you think otherwise is shockingly niave.
The wit hasn't provided any details about how he would do anything, never released his tax returns, and now is going to be all serious about providing details on how he is going to solve his conflict of interest problem?

Because this is where evangelicals go to get their news. Got it. Good job
Good point. It was inefficient.
Ineffective
Evangelicals used to say the Pres had to be a man (of their evangelical morals, only). The sanctimonious hypocrites dropped that requirement for the Big Orange Turd
Elizabeth Warren leads Democrats’ push to block Donald Trump’s conflicts of interests by invoking Emoluments Clause of Cons ution

Kellyanne Conway says Donald Trump’s team found “an exception” in anti-nepotism law
The loophole, she said, provides "a realm of possibilities" to plop Trump's daughter, son-in-law in the West Wing
president-elect would find a way to get his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner into the White House via a loophole in anti-nepotism law.
“The anti-nepotism law apparently has an exception if you want to work in the West Wing because the president is able to appoint his own staff” as opposed to the Cabinet, Conway said, adding: “The president does have discretion to choose a staff of his liking. And so, if that actually is true and that legal advice holds, then that will open up a realm of possibilities.”

Under political pressure, Kuwait cancels major event at Four Seasons, switches to Trump’s D.C. hotel
The Embassy of Kuwait allegedly cancelled a contract with a Washington, D.C. hotel days after the presidential election, citing political pressure to hold its National Day celebration at the Trump International Hotel instead.
A source tells ThinkProgress that the Kuwaiti embassy, which has regularly held the event at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, abruptly canceled its reservation after members of the Trump Organization pressured the ambassador to hold the event at the hotel owned by the president-elect.
The source, who has direct knowledge of the arrangements between the hotels and the embassy, spoke to ThinkProgress on the condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak publicly.
ThinkProgress was also able to review do entary evidence confirming the source’s account.

Donald Trump's sons behind nonprofit selling access to president-elect
New Texas-based group not legally required to disclose its donors
A new Texas nonprofit led by Donald Trump’s grown sons is offering access to the freshly-minted president during inauguration weekend — all in exchange for million-dollar donations to unnamed “conservation” charities,
Prospective million-dollar donors to the “Opening Day 2017” event — slated for Jan. 21, the day after inauguration, at Washington, D.C.’s Walter E. Washington Convention Center — receive a “private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests with President Donald J. Trump,” a “multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for 4 guests with Donald Trump, Jr. and/or Eric Trump, and team,” as well as tickets to other events and “autographed guitars by an Opening Day 2017 performer.”

$70,000 coffee date with Ivanka is off, but how about a $500,000 hunting trip with the Trump
boys?
The Trump family called off that $70,000 coffee with Ivanka after reporters started asking questions, but apparently a $500,000 hunting trip with Don Jr. and Eric is just fine?
Donors who pay at least $500,000 will have the chance to go on a multi-day excursion with Trump’s sons, according to the invitation. Other amenities include autographed memorabilia from performers Alabama and Toby Keith and — if he attends, which TMZ reports is still in flux — a photo with Donald Trump.
The report says proceeds from the event will go to conservation charities.
The dress code is billed as “camouflage and cufflinks,” but “jeans, boots and hats are welcome.”
Nice to see them carrying on the family tradition of using other people’s money to look like philanthropists—and the new family tradition of selling access.
Maybe the rationale is that it’s okay to sell access to Uday and Qusay, since everyone knows they don’t have as much influence on daddy as Ivanka does? This part of The Hill’s coverage is hilarious, though:That thinking presumably being “leave just enough animals alive for us to kill personally our own selves.”
Trump’s children are noted outdoorsmen, and have influenced the president-elect’s thinking on conservation issues.

Nuthin wrong with killing some animals. I'm lovin the fresh elk meat. Made some kick ass jerky on the smoker.

The only reason that isn't happening yet is that they aren't there.
They are already selling influence.
This administration is going to be so bad, it will ruin the GOP brand for a generation.
Good riddance, IMO. Failed policy after failed policy.
A lot stupid sheeple take their cues from the WH, so expect corruption to increase all across America.
