LETTER: No conflicts for Trump presidency
To the Editor:
In their on going effort to find fault with President-elect Donald Trump, the Democrats and "MSM" keep coming up with theories on how there would be a conflict of interest between his businesses and being president. If Mr. Trump wanted to be president for the money, why would he finance his own campaign and turn down the $400,00 annual salary? Also, I believe Mr Trump could have made a lot more money by staying out of politics and continuing to run his company.
When he was 22 years old, Eric Trump set up the a foundation that raised millions for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. That fund was also questioned if it would be a conflict of interest, so in order to avoid anything that could be construed as a conflict of interest for his dad, Eric shut the fund down. I hope the sore losers and "MSM" are proud of the fact that, because of them, St. Jude's Children's Hospital has been denied millions of dollars in funding.
