In the last 24 hours Trumpf has said he is not obliged [and will not] put his businesses into blind trust while he is President. Constitutional experts have stated this is illegal. However, it is certainly also highly unethical [and all prior Presidents have done so], and to use his new office to sell his products could well very soon become grounds for the beginning of impeachment proceedings. The problem being the Republican control of Congress. This is a completely distasteful human being who will, IMO, change nothing for those who voted for him - he's in this only for himself. I still can't believe that so many were willing to ignore all the clear warning signs only because of their own financial distress or hope to 'give it to the system'. That neo-Nazis are now in his cabinet and among his advisors should surprise no one as he refused to denounce the support of David Duke of the KKK. Trumpf's father was a big supporter of the KKK and had legal action against him for denying sale of his housing to African-Americans. It is little satisfaction that more in the USA dislike Trumpf than like him. I'm sick at heart at the reality we face, even if we'd have had many problems to face with Clinton. When one compares the likes of Trumpf to JFK [who was assassinated by and for his moral and political stands against the 'men behind the curtains'] one can see how far the USA has fallen in the post-war period. We will certainly self-destruct much more quickly than did Rome - but for the same reasons.
