Ivanka Trump has taken on a complicated role as one of her father's political advisors. She seeks to to continue to manage her businesses while also being the first daughter and a political advisor. Many people have become concerned with how Ivanka's business interests and political interests are in conflict. Although Ivanka has taken steps to separate herself from her fashion brand such as transferring management and giving up her her day-to-day control, her financial ties and ownership of her companies remains a problem. Many believe that the next step for Ivanka will be to sell her company and cut all financial ties, but the Trumps do not believe that Ivanka is violating any conflict of interest laws. Ivanka Trump and her family seem confident that Ivanka can successfully run her business and be a political advisor for her father.
- Do you think that Ivanka Trump is in ethical trouble over the conflict of interest laws?
- What do you think the best solution to resolve this conflict of interest is?
- Why are the Trump's holding onto their business ventures so tightly when they are now the first family? Do you think that this is right?
Any monetary or influence in a company is going to be a lot of ethical trouble. The best solution would be for the trumps to cut all their business ties while they are the first family.
ReplyDeleteI think that Ivanka Trump is in ethical trouble over the conflict of interest laws. The best solution would be to cut all ties with the business.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that someone who is heavily involved in politics should also have a business because it will give them a strong bias.
ReplyDeleteI think that the only way to resolve the conflict of interest would be to drop one or the other. She will have to consider if she would rather run a business or be a political advisor for the Trump Administration. I believe the Trump's are holding onto their business ventures very closely because they have realized that the longest possible time for this administration is 8 years. From a future financial standpoint, holding onto their business' is a smart move.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a bias problem if she continues holding onto her businesses, so the best solution is to pick either one option or the other.
ReplyDeletethere is a lot of conflict between her political, and business life she needs to decided if she wants to take care of her brand or just be her dad's advisor. otherwise, she will be in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a bit of an ethical conflict in this situation, she should separate her political life from her business just as most Americans do.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it's necessary for the whole Trump family to leave behind their established business ventures now that Donald Trump is President. While I don't think it would be appropriate for President Trump to be involved with running the corporation, I don't see a problem with other members of the first family having professional lives outside of politics.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that she has to leave her business, she seems to have it under control. Although, the two things she is currently focusing on should definitely have all of her attention.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has to leave the family business but she should not bring her political views to her job. I think she is able to control the business.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hannah that she should leave her political views separate from her business, for that is not what people are interested in.
ReplyDeleteI believe that they should cut all ties with business while they are the first family. There is too much controversy over it, and it has not been handled well.
