Related: About this forumSpicer: Trump is "taking extraordinary steps," and "Don and Eric are fully in charge of the company"
Yeah, but he has resigned from the company as he said he would before he took office, Spicer insisted. Don and Eric are fully in charge of the company. Hes taking extraordinary steps to ensure that thats happened.
ProPublic reported that the claim was simply not true as of last Friday.
ProPublica looked at more than a dozen of Trumps largest companies, which are registered or incorporated in three states. Officials in New York and Delaware said documents are logged as soon as they are received. In Florida, officials told us there is typically a day or two before documents are logged into the system.
Even if Trump hands over his companies to a new trust, the plan fails to solve many of his bigger business conflicts, experts say. Terms of the trust that would insulate the president from the Trump Organization havent been made public. Trumps decision not to divest his assets has also been heavily criticized by several former White House attorneys and ethics chiefs.

Clearly Trump thinks he's being tricky.
It's bullshit.
