The reason people believe he should give up his business is because there is a conflict of interest. He does business in countries where many of the corporations his company could deal with are owned or operated by the government at least in part. You can't be sure he is making a decision that is best for the people of the US if he stands to personally gain from it. Add to the fact he won't be releasing his taxes so the American people won't have a clear picture of who he owes money to or who owes money to him this makes for a very uncomfortable situation.

Are you aware that all profits from his foreign holdings are going to the federal treasury? If not, rethink.

  Is this in perpetuity? Deals made today will impact profits in 10 years time!

  I am not aware of that. I am aware of a pledge Trump made to donate profits when foreign governments use his hotels. That pledge does not apply to all profits from his foreign holdings.
