Trump vs America: Presidential conflict of interest?

As US president-elect Donald Trump counts down to his inauguration on January 20, the American public - and the world - is watching closely as Trump's financial conflicts of interest remain a point of concern. According to Trump, US law states that both the president and the vice president are exempt from even having a conflict of interest at all - a comfortable resolution for the vast Trump business empire. When he appoints his cabinet, is he making those choices to help the United States or is he doing it to help his own pocket book? The Wall Street Journal, however, says that The Trump Organisation and its numerous subsidiaries happen to owe hundreds of millions of dollars to hundreds of Wall Street institutions. As president, Trump will have the power to regulate those lenders, and the American people only have his word in stating he will not use his office to favour his business interests.
