For the past few weeks, liberals have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off, complaining that President-elect Donald Trump had not sufficiently severed ties with his massive business empire.
Well, early Wednesday morning, Trump sent out several tweets announcing that he will hold a news conference on December 15 with his children to talk about turning over his business to his children.

During the campaign, Trump promised to turn over the Trump Organization to his children and leave all his business dealings and investments in a blind trust that he would not have access to.
Although there are no legal issues for Trump if he hands his business to his children, liberals still view the move as unethical and a problem for the incoming administration. Given that President-elect Trump owns more than 500 companies it should come as no surprise that it has taken him several weeks to deal with all the legal issues that come with turning over power of his empire to his children.
Of course, this has not been satisfactory to the left and the liberal media, who demanded he step away from his companies on day one, something that was both ill-advised and impractical.
Despite the left’s hand-wringing over the issue, Trump has once again kept another campaign promise that is sure to infuriate Democrats for days and weeks to come.
