No record that Trump's done anything he said he'd do regarding his businesses.
Sheri Dillon, the Trump attorney who presented the plan, said that Trump “has relinquished leadership and management of the Trump Organization.” Everything would be placed in a family trust by Jan. 20, she said.
That hasn’t happened.
To transfer ownership of his biggest companies, Trump has to file a long list of documents in Florida, Delaware and New York. We asked officials in each of those states whether they have received the paperwork. As of 3:15 p.m. today, the officials said they have not.
Trump and his associates “are not doing what they said they would do,” said Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush. “And even that was completely inadequate.”
ProPublica’s questions to the transition team were referred to an outside public relations firm, Hiltzik Strategies, which declined to comment. The president’s team did not allow reporters to view documents, which they said were legal records separating Trump from his eponymous business empire. Dillon’s law firm, Morgan Lewis, has not released the records and they declined further comment, saying it doesn’t comment on client issues.

I wasn't making an attack on you, it was just a general observation of the nomenclature that politician's use when pandering towards groups of people trying to get their vote.

Wasn't the plan that his kids would take care of things? At some point (likely already happened) he'll get his kids security clearances of some sort. So in the end he might as well still be in control.
People better be watching the business dealings very closely and how they tie into his decisions and negotiations.
It is on my list as the #1 reason he'll be impeached.

One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.
By encouraging a better relationship with law enforcement right?
I'm thinking the word 'chilling' just a little too much today.

No shying from the protectionist stance, even using the word. "Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength."
"We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world -- but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first." which every nation does of course, but to feel it important to emphasize that tells the rest of the world "America First" means just that.

You're forgetting this little bit of ultranationalism.

Fair enough. I may be slightly on edge today what with living in the newly minted Democratic People's Republic of America.

The crowd lined up along the barriers for the inaugural parade cheered its loudest cheer of the day, of course, when the announcer said President Trump was passing. Most could not see him through the closed windows of the limo but kept waving anyway.
They also cheered for conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and very loudly booed all four of the most powerful women in the United States: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) got less enthusiastic boos.

You know, I'm really not sure what antecedent that "it" is meant to refer to here...
