Why are there no questions regarding how Trump would deal with his businesses and investments

Last edited Sat Aug 13, 2016, 04:33 PM - Edit history (1)

if he were to win the office? Theoretically he is worth billions. He has hinted more than once that his children would function as a shadow cabinet, and his dependence on them to guide him has been evident throughout. His temperament and willingness to punish those who criticize him or he feels slighted by has also been on display. This "counter-punching" is not a rhetorical response. He has been willing to turn his followers on people and to instigate violence.

I have no doubt in my mind that he would use any power he is given to increase his wealth and holdings. I fail to understand why this does not rise to the level of concern that it should.

What happens when President Trump wants to drop a few bombs on Scotland because he's ticked that protestors are blocking access to one of his golf courses? (Hypothetical situation only, I pray.)
