    No. At a minimum he has to disclose all his assets but he doesn't have to sell them. Most Presidents voluntarily put their assets into a blind trust while they're in office. The manager of the blind trust is free to buy or sell these assets without any input from the owner. This helps prevent a conflict of interest or the appearance of same. Interestingly, President Obama declined to do this.

    Dick Cheney's Halliburton profited nicely from the (convenient) wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    I can guarantee that a president Trump would funnel as much money into his own pockets as possible.

    the only thing he'll be a president of is the drop the soap club
