After postponing a press conference to discuss how he will approach his business when he takes office as president, Donald Trump on Monday evening tweeted a few details about how he will leave his companies.
He said that his two oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump will manage the companies and will make “no new deals” while Trump is in office.
Even though I am not mandated by law to do so, I will be leaving my busineses before January 20th so that I can focus full time on the……

Presidency. Two of my children, Don and Eric, plus executives, will manage them. No new deals will be done during my term(s) in office.

I will hold a press conference in the near future to discuss the business, Cabinet picks and all other topics of interest. Busy times!

Trump had scheduled a press conference for this week to discuss his plans for avoiding conflicts of interest while president. However, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said on Monday that Trump has postponed that press conference until January. Trump delayed the press conference because he needed more time due to the effort he has made to nominate cabinet picks, Bloomberg News reported.
He said that his two oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump will manage the companies and will make “no new deals” while Trump is in office.
The only way a company makes “no new deals” during a period of four years is if it shuts down business entirely.
I think this is the most nonsensical thing I have ever seen Trump say or tweet. Who the hell is he trying to fool?
I was born at night but it wasn’t last night.
Wow, that’s a powerful statement. Works for me.
We all work for Trump Enterprises now.
