Experten om Trumps företag: Han tigger om problem
Donald Trump planerar att överlämna det dagliga ansvaret för Trump Organization till sina barn när han flyttar in i Vita huset. Upplägget har sågats av etikexperter i flera omgångar, bland annat för att Trump genom sina många företag har affärsmässiga kopplingar som kan utmynna i intressekonflikter. Norman Eisen vid Brookings Institution är också orolig över att Trump inte helt ska kunna frigöra sig från sina affärer.
– Rent juridiskt kan han göra det här, men han tigger om problem. Skandaler väntar när människor kommer att försöka påverka honom genom affärskopplingarna, säger han till CNN.

The Trump Organization (formerly Elizabeth Trump & Son) is an American privately owned international conglomerate based in Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It comprises US president-elect Donald Trump's business ventures and investments. Trump serves as chairman and president, a position he has said he will relinquish before taking office, handing over management of the company to his three eldest children Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, who currently serve as executive vice presidents.
The Trump Organization has interests in real estate development, investing, brokerage, sales and marketing, and property management. The company owns, operates, invests, and develops residential real estate, hotels, resorts, residential towers, and golf courses in different countries, as well as owning several hundred thousand square feet (several hectares) of prime Manhattan real estate. It lists involvement in 515 subsidiaries and entities with 264 of them bearing Trump's name and another 54 including his initials. With investments within the United States and globally, The Trump Organization spans a wide variety of industries including real estate, construction, hospitality, entertainment, book and magazine publishing, media, model management, retail, financial services, board game development, food and beverages, business education, online travel, airlines, helicopter air services and beauty pageants. It owns a New York television production company that produces television programs including the reality television program, The Apprentice. The company also engages in retailing, having at various times sold fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water.
The Trump Organization has divested a number of properties that continue to bear the Trump name even though Trump no longer owns them. For example, in February 2016, it sold its stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts, which owns the Trump Taj Mahal, the Trump Plaza, and the Trump Marina casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
