could have taken office takenYes . However they are expected to divest themselves of those ownership stakes upon taking the office . Trump appears to be ignoring that part . He ' s going to be taking the office in 2 months ugh . I doubt putting several multimillion dollar companies into a blind trust is something that can be done in that timeframe . Just the valuation alone might take that long . What will we do if he just says nah when asked to step down as CEO of his organization and refuses to put his holdings in a blind trust ? I really think that there is no way in hell he will give up being CEO or Trump Amalgamated Worldwide or whatever it ' s called . Then what ? <| sep |> Senio just confirmed it won ' t be a premium in the comments .
