    We’ve had former presidents sell their family peanut farms to avoid conflicts of interest

    The carters felt that relinquishing the business to someone else’s care would separate them from these affairs and avoid the possibility of their financial holdings resembling any conflict of interest while President Carter was in office.

      First term Trump divested of most of his businesses, so this is even a departure for him

      No matter what your stance on Trump is, you must agree that it isn’t completely outside the realm of possibilities.

        He took the KISS method of advertising/marketing. Slap the brand name on everything you can to squeeze out as much money from the "fan base"as possible

    A president is allowed to found companies?

    Either way, he sure has time on his hands.

    The only reason it will compete with those brands is cause if some kind of agreement.

    It’s gonna be labeled as some private cell service but it actually logs everything you do in their servers and use it for some nefarious purpose.
