I don't know which is scarier, all of these conflicts of interest that Trump has or the fact that his supporters are either too stupid to understand the problem or won't care.

It is scarier to think that he may not be able to mentally divorce himself from his companies even if he manages to 'divest' himself from them.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould
