Original Note:

While running for president Trump claimed he would divest from his businesses but once he became president he recanted. https://www.commoncause.org/democracy-wire/trumps-blind-trust-is-a-sham/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferwang/2016/11/15/why-trump-wont-use-a-blind-trust-and-what-his-predecessors-did-with-their-assets/?sh=7d1f2d7f29c0 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-finance/trump-says-wont-divest-from-his-business-while-president-idUSKBN14V21I
