Which loopholes is Trump making use of in retaining his business interests?

The Supreme Court takes a very dim eye towards any attempt to restrict who can hold Federal elected office by legislation (vs. Constitutional amendment).

Look at Powell v. McCormack for example. The vote was 7 for, 1 against for reasons of the case being moot, and one not voting. (Powell was succeeded by Rangel who still has the seat. Boy, that district.)

The result is that ethics enforcement (vs. acting on actual law breaking) in Congress is more in the form of social pressure than anything.

While laws can be written defining “high crimes and misdemeanors” to remove a President from office, SCotUS would not be happy if legislation was passed making the PotUS ineligible, for example, from being a producer of a TV show. Hardly a crime. After all, is at a crime in general for a person to be a TV producer? (We can all dream.)

It would be amusing if this were the case, given the vast number of posters here who claim Trump has ripped off his creditors so badly in decades past that no one will lend him money anymore and that’s why he can only make money by licensing his name.

The reality is that Trump has “holdings [that] include more than 500 private companies, some of which he creates for prospective deals”, and he has indeed been divesting himself of certain businesses that could be problematic in his role as president, notably some having to do with Saudi Arabia. Cite

“Executive Producer The boss of all the other producers. The executive producer usually has final say on all aspects of the production.
In some cases however, the executive producer is not much more than a figurehead or honorary title. For example, a producer who starts a successful long-running show might retire from any working role but stay on “at the top” in name only.”

I’m assuming the bolded describes Trump’s position with the show for the next 4 (or 8) years.

He apparently hasn’t been able to get loans from any US institution this Century.

His go to banks/major investors these day are overseas. For example Deutsche bank, who are simultaneously holding about a third of a Billion dollars in loans to Trump whilst being in a bitter dispute with the Justice Department over potentially Billions of dollars of fines.

Which of course is why ‘Blind Trusts’ were considered so essential before our current Brave New World.

The good news is those financial problems could be a thing of the past!
