During the presidential campaign Donald Trump deflected questions about how he'd handle conflicts of interest as president—many of his business endeavors could benefit from shifts in government policy and/or serve as conduits with which to buy his favor—by saying his children would run his companies in a "blind trust." Observers pointed out that this would not really be a blind trust because the director of a blind trust is supposed to be independent of the trust's ultimate owner.
