Rennie: ‘Fake’ for Trump to Say His Kids Can Run an Independent Business

‘He has to understand that when he says confidently during the campaign that his supporters don’t care about this stuff, that may have been, just mainly true during the campaign, but he’s now president’

RENNIE: "Absolutely, and that's why we say that if he's going to keep these business assets, and we think he should be allowed to, he has to hand them over to an independent board of directors. His saying his kids will be arm's length just doesn't cut it. You're absolutely right. It doesn't cut it because for one thing we've already seen his daughter and son-in-law in a meeting with the prime minister of Japan. That's just not a clean way to separate your business, personal, and government business. But it's also -- his kids just aren't realistically independent business figures. They are his kids. They've always been attached to him umbilically in business terms. It's a kind of -- it's a fake to say that they can run an independent business."
