I think Trump IS his empire. It is his identity. He cannot separate himself from it, literally and psychologically. He has nothing else. It fills the black hole that is Donald Trump. I would be very surprised, for example, would he ever agree to any arrangement that amounts to a real blind trust. He can't do it. How can one separate one from oneself? His whole presidency will be about expanding Donald Trump. His self-praise will ring world.
So much ringing. He's the best world-ringer. My advice: Avoid tinnitus, buy earplugs.
