When Business and Presidency Collide: Is Trump Redefining Leadership or Blurring the Line?
Former President Donald Trump continues to make headlines—not just for his political influence, but also for his business ventures. Recently, he personally appeared at the opening of a new Trump-branded golf course, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.

Or is this merging of roles part of a new era of leadership where branding and governance go hand in hand? 🧠 Additional Perspectives On ethics: Can voters trust decisions are made in the public’s interest if personal gain is visibly intertwined? On transparency: Should former presidents disclose full business dealings when they hold influence over millions? On culture: Is America becoming more tolerant—or dangerously indifferent—to the mixing of celebrity, business, and politics? Should we demand a clearer line between personal gain and public service in a time when branding is power?
