Trump's Businesses May Be His Biggest Liability

Besides being the current Republican Party nominee for president, Donald J. Trump is world-famous largely for his business success. He’s a billionaire—or so he claims, even though he still hasn’t disclosed his tax returns—and he reportedly owns and operates a whopping 500 companies. When it comes down to it, his business success is considered by many to be his greatest asset. He touts his ability and skill to “get things done,” to work with and negotiate “tough, but fairly” with those he disagrees with such as China or Russia. He’s the “can do” candidate that has, like Mitt Romney before him, “signed the front of a check, not just the back.” He claims that he’ll “Make America First Again,” but the truth may be that the size and international scope of Trump’s businesses place him in a historic ethical conflict of interest that may compromise and endanger the safety and interests of the American people.
