Putting aside any differences people may have about his personality etc I am not sure his business interests have been discussed enough. As the leader of the US and it's policies, surely there is going to be a conflict of interests between him being President and his business holdings? I have heard about a blind trust etc, but you can't honestly say that his family running this are not going to be privy to information that will help the Trump empire. This is not a Trump bashing thread, but an important point I think needs addressing.

On the bright side, he has billions.
He doesn't need to dip his greasy mitts into the public purse like many politicians do.

i doubt he knows in advance what he will do so family running hotels wont gain
Maybe he'll be forced to pay some tax for the 1st time!
he gave secretariat a mention........he cant be all bad
He's been President 3 or 4 days, lets be fair & give the man a chance.
Not that he has much to beat anyway - don't worry he'll get all the important things
done like build the wall ban muslims & deport hispanics!

Well he has been President elect for a few days. Won't be the new President until January. You don't think this is a concern at all Ron?
Paul Ryan now seems excited enough about the times ahead working with Trump.
The media have turned Trump in to some disaster waiting to happen,
as always said nothing to lose as the majority would have got nothing back from
a Hillary Presidency - With the team Trump will have around him nothing
to be concerned about id suggest

Well, as I stated earlier his VP choice to appease the evangelicals is enough of a worry, but we'll have to wait and see how things turn out. I do agree Hillary was not a great choice for dems, especially as elements on the right have been after her since the 90s. Would have liked to have seen how Sanders would have done against Trump, but now we'll never know.
if a guy takes over my gambling and makes 10 million for me I wont mind if he takes a million for his family.
As with Trump if he sorts out the American finances and everyone is getting richer and has a steady job nobody is going to care if the trump family made a few billion for themselves.

sanders was the best candidate and his own party and killary slid the knife into that little experiment with socialism
From what some of the Republicans say Sanders may well have won it,
but as we've seen with WikLeaks Clinton even had him stitched up to win
the Democrats nomination

Trump is now President of the United States.
He will have his successes and failures.
The only objection to him is from immigrants and women.
Perhaps they need to know the world does not run round them, and stop having kiddies tantrums.
Trump has a difficult job ahead, probably wish he had not taken it in 4 years.
Plus I can't wait to see this wall, he deserved to be elected just for that

He was also democratically elected, which people keep forgetting!
53% of White women voted for Trump....I am afraid nobody liked Mrs Clinton, they saw right through her.
I doubt you will ever see the wall just like the NHS 350 million on the bus
I shall be heartbroken
I think he will go half way with the wall idea.my guess is that he will erect a high voltage electric fence.
American steel would be too expensive. Will have to be Chinese 
The only objection to him is from immigrants and women.
& both topics have been escalated by the media, inciting violence - a large
percent of the media are a disgrace & have caused a hell of a lot of trouble all
to suit their own selfish agenda.
They reckon the wall will be happening anxious

He sees China as an enemy, an economic enemy to the United States.
I agree Ron, the Media have disgraced themselves, particularly the BBC.
didn't Hank have another post? gone missing or did i imagine that?
A wall stretching 2,000 miles across the US-Mexico border would cost a lot of money
I don't think I did Ron, but I can't guarantee it Not only the length of the border, but there would be a lot of property that would need to be acquired. I think it will be an election plan that will fail to be implemented, but perhaps some areas that are more worrisome like certain border areas like California and Texas may have parts built. eG you do such a good job I can never tell when you are serious or tongue in cheek

HE,S refusing to take the 400 grand salary ,unlike the 30 million,s worth cameron who charged you and me for his hobnobs and wisteria cleaning,so,s he,s well in front before he starts as a buisnessmen he,ll no little things like that, 400 grand nothing to him but the perception looks great for him
The only time NATO has invoked it's self defence clause, that an attack on one was an attack on all, was in support of America following 9/11. Yet Trump wants to pull out of NATO.
open ye ears and stop getting your information from pravda i mean sky news
he doesnt want to pull out of nato but he wants germany the 3rd richest country in the world to put some money in the pot,basicaly trumps saying if you want the usa to be the worlds policemen you,ll have to pay a little bit for it
no sane person could disagree with that
merkel wants to open europes borders to anyone who wants to come in and get the us to police it free of charge

he ought to take the salary to seal contractual arrangements - he could then give it to charity or something if he wished
Nowhere near as conflicting as Hilarys interests would have been .Watch the Pilger interview with Julian Assange.

You talk like the germans are happy with the americans policing us? The amount of military bases america has here is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks Germany isn't a slave country of the US is an idiot. Germany has been under the americans since the second world war.
People here are frankly sick of the amount of coverage the elections have got in Germany. The fact is, Germany has been doing the americans a huge favor by allowing everyone in. We are making another money making machine for the american military industry.
4 military bases in a 60 mile radius where i live. In case you were wondering who pulls the strings here.
is it true that the US pays 70 percent of the nato bill (heard on aljazeera this morning)

the US is coughing up 72% of the bill for NATO yet there are still EU countries who are not paying their full whack, I'm sure Fritz will disagree but Germany is one of them along with Poland who are currently bleating for more troops to be stationed there.

He'll backtrack on this, as he will on most of his pre election promises.
give it a few months and people will realise that when you take away the sensational way he goes about making a point that most of his points are common sense to lots of people and instead of celebrating the fact he might,nt have put them into practice ,they,ll be moaning the fact he hasnt
