Now that Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, his transition team has to decide to do about his many businesses. The current plan, as reiterated by Rudy Giuliani last Sunday, is to set up a "blind trust" to effectively hand over the management of the Trump Organization to his three oldest children, who currently serve as executive vice presidents at the company.
According to NPR, most US presidents put their investments in a blind trust because they use an independent financial advisor free of potential conflicts of interest. But the Trump children are not an independent third-party, meaning that their takeover would not technically be "blind."
Trump's decisions as president-elect so far have done little to separate his children from his political life. Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric are all serving on the executive committee of their father's transition team, which could pose a conflict of interest once he reaches the White House, as they are currently in a position to help appoint others to roles that could create beneficial policies and conditions for the Trump Organization.
Here are the major properties and businesses that could present a conflict of interest under the current transition plan. It's important to note that the Trump Organization does not own all of the properties that bear the Trump name. Many just license his name.
