The argument that Zunger presents is that Mr Trump's refusal to divest himself of assets shows a proclivity to use the office to enrich himself and his family. The most visible - and trivial - example of this is Mr Trump's use of Twitter. Mr Trump's tweets about his conversation with Prime Minister 'Trumbull' stomped on centuries of diplomatic protocol. In one light, you could argue that this shows that Mr Trump and his inner circle are just deeply incompetent. What it means is that much of the conventional thinking about how Mr Trump's presidency will play out needs to be completely rethought.
