Was that a concern that people were throwing around in the 1920s?

Tell us about that time, Fred.

No, I'm just kidding.

I mean, so I guess you could make the argument that, well, this is a guy who owned a TV station and radio station.

Or with Harding, this is a guy who owned a newspaper.

And then they became president.

And it's not their fault that they used to own a business.

They didn't sell the business during the presidency.

That's kind of like what's happening with Trump, except Trump owned the business.

Well, it's not like what's happening with Trump.

There's more money on the line.

Yeah, you could kind of make this argument for Trump's first presidency.

Like, he was a businessman before.

What is he supposed to do?

Sell all of his businesses?

He'd probably get criticism for that, too.

Like, maybe somebody pays generously to buy a Trump business to get in good with the incoming president.

But for the second term, Fred says Trump is currently setting policies that benefit his and his family's businesses and grow their profits.

And that is different.

What about, okay, what about other countries?
