I'm afraid this looks pretty fishy no matter how you slice it.  The guy running the country instituting policy that could favor his personal business interests.

Never before has a billionaire with so many diverse business entanglements directly affected by White House policy taken the presidency, and the potential conflicts of interest facing Donald Trump are so unprecedented that U.S. ethics laws weren’t even written to account for them.

President-elect Trump could hold sway over regulators’ investigations into banks that have lent his businesses hundreds of millions of dollars. He’ll be directing relations with foreign governments, such as Saudi Arabia’s, whose rulers have bought everything from real estate to a yacht from him as he struggled to pay off debts.

Watchdogs are already scoffing at Trump’s plans to turn his sprawling global empire over to his adult children – whom he also named to his transition team on Friday. Short of selling his businesses, they say, he won’t be able to reassure the American people that he’s not acting in his own interests.
