As long as he has his name on buildings and products...

...he'll never be "leaving" the business.

Is the American people and mainstream media going to fall for this?

The name is mostly for effect. It's the underlying relationships - and ones we don't know about - that are more disconcerting.

I agree, though - he's clearly still in business when his name is everywhere. And, putting his kids in charge and claiming that absolves him of responsibility for the connections is laughable.
