He has refused to put his businesses in a blind trust as he's supposed to do.
That's actually not true. If it was I highly doubt Trump would have run as the Trump empire is not only huge it's run by the whole family.
Quote:
There is no federal statute which expressly requires that particular federal officials place assets into a “blind trust” upon entering public service with the Federal Government. Rather, the use of a “blind trust” is one of several methods of conflict of interest avoidance under federal law and regulation.
Federal officials in the executive branch of Government, other than the President or Vice President, must generally “recuse” or disqualify themselves from participating in any particular governmental matter in which they have a financial interest, or in which their spouse, dependent children, partner, or business with which they are associated, has a financial interest.
where were all these people during the lowest voter turnout in 20 years?
Well, nearly 65.9 million people voted for Clinton.
Another nearly 4.5 million voted for Gary Johnson.
Nearly 1.5 million for Jill Stein. Even Evan McMullen nearly managed a million votes.
So that's 70 million people or so who actively voted against Trump, against this administration. As huge as today's demonstrations were, there weren't 70 million people there.
Also there are plenty of people who marched today who for one reason or another were unable to vote in this presidential election. Plenty of people who aren't yet 18 and thus were unable to cast a ballot. People who are in college in the US but aren't citizens of the US.
Make no mistake, these people who protested and marched today, if they were able, they likely also voted in November. Everyone I know who marched today, also voted in November. They were also vocal in their disapproval of Trump before the election. These people were always there, but we were too busy whining about email servers to pay any attention.
And maybe, just maybe, voter turnout wouldn't be so low if the GOP wasn't trying to make it so much harder for people to actually go out and do it. Voter fraud is a myth (only 4 instances out of 135+ million votes cast in this past election), and yet we keep getting that hammered at by GOP leaders. We should make it easier to vote, not harder.
Fifteen states enacted new voting restrictions before the 2016 election, perhaps that had something to do with the low turnout?

“Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of Agency heroes. Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself,” Brennan said via former CIA deputy chief of staff Nick Shapiro.
Brennan balked at Trump’s remarks at the agency’s Langley headquarters, in which the new commander-in-chief promised to support the agency but also ripped the “dishonest media” and boast about his appearances on magazine covers and inauguration crowds.
Spicer. What a joke. Calls an unscheduled presser on a Saturday - his first - to scream at the press over inauguration numbers. His voice was practically trembling as he read his statement: "This was the most watched inauguration PERIOD!!"
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich goes after Trump prior to his team beating the Cavs. And he coaches in frikken San Antonio, so you know it would be easier for him to stay silent. Watch Trump try to remove him as national team coach.
