As fond as the president elect is of walls, he cannot build a Chinese wall around his business. He knows the assets and nature of the business. Unless he lacks all business acumen, he will know what policies will help or hurt his business.
The solution is to donate to charity all profits directly or indirectly related to laws and policies during his term in office. A bipartisan panel of economists would make the assessment. Ironically, Trumps promises to charities would finally be fulfilled.
The second prong is to deleverage his business. During the campaign, Trump made the patently false claim that his businesses were not leveraged. Make that the first campaign promise that he keeps. Owing money, particularly to foreign interests, is unprecedented for a president. A third party could be appointed to deleverage prudently, without damaging the business.
Americans deserve a president focused like a laser on their needs and interests.
