You don't need too. He doesn't have to give up his business but put it in a blind trust where he can't see the investments being made and therefore risk taking actions which would be for the benefit of his business.
All other Presidents have done this.

For a start, just look at how much Obama has made in paid for speeches, last time I looked, it was about $400,000 per speech. Obama has also put in a request for over a $1 Million of expenses for the next year. Look at how much money Bill Clinton makes per speech.

So? They've left office.

And if you want to talk about corruption, just look at the stories coming out about the DNC, that it is being alleged and said to be out of cash and how the very Crooked Hillary, allegedly contributed to keep it afloat, and in return, the DNC rigged the Primaries, to get Hillary as the Presidential Nominee.

Ok but if Clinton had done the following would it be ok?
- Been the first President not to put their business interests in to a blind trust
- Appointed her son-in-law as an advisor
- Went on Holiday in Clinton-owned Hotels and charged the secret service for it
We both know the right would be going apocalyptic if Clinton were seen to be making profit from the Presidency and appointing her own family into senior positions.
Why is Trump exempt?
