Trump refuses to rule out 'start a military apparel company' option

Filed · 1534

WASHINGTON — After boasting on Twitter last week that he would not rule out a "military option" in both Venezuela and North Korea, President Donald Trump today refused to rule out the possibility that he would start a military apparel company, sources confirmed.

Senior military advisers close to the White House said his avoiding the issue is a big indicator that “he’s definitely thinking about it.”

Trump has declined to release his tax returns, despite many promises to do so, leaving many to speculate as to what old business ties, and possible new ones, may be hidden from public view. Some of his assets have been passed on to his children, but with Ivanka’s expertise in fashion industry, experts say a new service-oriented clothing line could be a looming possibility.
