It's ridiculous to pretend he will make a serious attempt to separate himself and it seems to me it may not even be possible.  Trump trades on his name and his celebrity, he doesn't manufacturer or produce anything.  A Trump hotel is still a Trump hotel whether it's in a blind trust or not.  If the man showed one hint of ethics or propriety I might be more willing to let it pass, but its clear we are about to see looting of the treasury and crony capitalism on a level consistent with a banana republic.
