Well i dont really know what choice he would have other than what he has done . His business is too large for him to simply eliminate it . He handed it off to family and well they are probably a big reason why he was motivated to make so much money in the first place so why shouldnt he do this ? But i dont find it so difficult to trust that he cares more about the US than his personal business . He doesnt have anything left to prove as far as business is concerned . obviously you can always suspect ulterior motives for everything . especially when trump controls a large business with international influence . But if you are going to assume that money is the great motive for presidents then there is nothing special about trump . Any president could accept bribes , right ? Trump has enough of his own money that perhaps he isnt possible to bribe . Refusing the president salary was a reasonable show of good faith , right ?
