News item: President Elect Donald Trump pledges to leave his great businesses in order to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

The scene: A hallway in the White House, President Trump and daughter Ivanka speak.

Ivanka: "I have to talk to you about big problems with that project in Qatar."

Trump: "Sorry Pumpkin, I can't be involved in my businesses until my term is up."
