Also there is a good chance that HE would continue to be involved if he was selling them. With the high end hotels and golf courses – he might still own them 8 years later.

I don’t think he needs to sell them. Putting them in a blind trust he would still get $$ when he needs it. No difference in turning it over to family members.

In 16 years or later when there is a Dem president again, I’ll say the same thing -if- the dems can find someone who actually is a business person instead of a career politician.
