1)I assume this stock in the trust can be dumped and cash out ? Also this stock made little cash from profit’s yet its price kept climbing closer to the election ,2) Is it possible backers from other countries let’s say Russia could have invested heavily knowing the majority of the sell off would go to Trump for considerations later ? The optics to me of this stock and how it’s playing out look so dirty! Please educate me !

It’s being called a conflict of interest: [https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Trump-divestment-letter.pdf](https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Trump-divestment-letter.pdf)

Are there any actual legal repercussions that depend on Republicans not looking the other way and ignoring it?

I know unethical behavior has always existed in our government and country but never has it been so blatant and in your face! How as a country who preaches freedom , democracy and lawfulness looking from the outside we have appear like utter hypocrites! They say the world looks to the United States for stability……Yikes! I fear the future and for the average citizen!
