Read our Privacy noticePresident Donald Trump tried to brush off ethics concerns over his $1.4 billion cryptocurrency business, claiming he only talks to his children, who run his businesses, to tell them “I love you.” “I don’t mind putting it in a blind trust; I don’t run it myself anyway. “I never talk to them about things… You know, they’re not involved in government; I don’t talk to them about government. I don’t talk to them about much other than to say ‘I love you, kids.’” Most of Trump’s personal investments, assets and business interests are held in a revocable trust run by the Trump Organization – which is led by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
