Blind trust?
Do these people even know how silly that demand even is when it involves the kind of assets that Trump has?
A blind trust would mean Trump wouldn’t have any idea what assets are in the trust, and thus have no idea how his assets would be affected by decisions he makes.
Trump owns real estate, he will ALWAYS know that he has real estate, no matter how convoluted the wall between Trump and the real estate is.
Nevertheless, let them beat their silly drums.
Nope. The objective is to taint every decision he makes.
Rudy has a good handle on this, noting that his children would have to divest themselves and find other lines of work. Plus, there is no good way for Trump to liquidate his assets in such a way as to be disinterested in the welfare of the new owner.
