Trump has been bought and sold many times over. His current "business plan" is to rent his name out to property developers, so that they can use his notoriety to sell their buildings, and he can use the pretense of owning building to inflate the general perception of his wealth. He's been a whore for a number of years now, because nobody will trust him with their money after four bankruptcies.
And in case you've not yet noticed, whores like Trump will always do what the highest bidder says.
While there are lagit franchise set ups, the more laws the rich write, the more legalized pick pocketing becomes, like a multi level marketing scam. As long as you the "name renter" can point to a few who do benefit, you get to excuse the bigger picture which is nothing but dumping the majority of business cost on those below you.
It is like you said, renting your name to create artificial wealth. It is simply a business model designed to maximize the benefit and minimize risk.
