No, I mean he doesn't understand the term or its implications. Trump and his sons literally did not (and possibly still don't) understand the concept of a blind trust and why it was brought up in regards to his possibly becoming the President. It would not surprise me if they decide not to, and it would not surprise me if it's discovered at some point that he made deals that benefitted his companies while he was President, because he doesn't seem to have that kind of a filter in his mind or conscience.
As an aside, I am not bothered by his many business failures. People who achieve success often have a lot of failures, even after they've had their biggest successes. You don't always become successful because you're brilliant and have perfect timing. Most people become successful because they brush off those failures and try again. Trump's most useful characteristics for business success will probably serve him well as President. It's those characteristics that hurt him in business that will likely do the same in his political career.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
