The New York Times reveals Trump still has conflicts of interests with his fake "blind trust"

Every time Donald Trump complains about The New York Times it means the NYT published something that exposes Trump. That is why this morning I read the NYT after Trump tweeted this:



Turns out the NYT published an article showing how Donald Trump's so-called "blid-trust", which supposedly took control of his company and assets away from him so he would't have conflicts of interests as a president, doesn't really do prevent conflicts of interests, since Trump, in reality, still has a lot of control over the "blind trust."

According to the NYT, Trump's blind trust is controlled by his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr, and by Trump's chief financial officer, Allen H. Weisselberg.

Donald Trump has the power to take away the control of the blind trust from his son and Weisselberg.

And Donald Trump also receives reports on profits and losses from the blind trust.

So it's not so blind after all.

In other words, while on paper it may appear like a blind trust, in reality it is a fake blind trust.

And in fact, the NYT quotes experts who point out the blind trust does nothing to prevent conflicts of interests. Which is a big problem because as it is right now, Trump has some major conflicts of interests, including conflicts of interests with the US Post Office, the IRS, the General Services Administration, the National Labor Relations Board, and with foreign nations.

So every time Trump attacks media outlet, make sure to read that media outlet, since it's probably informing about something Trump doesn't like.
