While it ' s possible that you are right that he will want to be remembered as a good president , what he if he doesn ' t ? What if he decides that this is a great opportunity to enrich himself further ? I think it ' s fine to be concerned about conflicts of interest with the presidency as it would be for anyone in charge of anything it ' s more than just a talking point . If Hillary were in there , folks on the right would be talking about potential conflicts of interest just as loudly , so it ' s not a left thing . I think part of the dynamic with Trump is that he responds to things in the mediasometimes positively , sometimes very negativelyso if a bunch of reports come out that groups of people have serious concerns about his potential conflicts of interest , he might decide to do things differently than if nothing were made of it . Right now is probably the best time for concerned citizens to make their voices heard . Once he has settled in , he is probably less likely to shift his position on things as much .
