Bloomberg can place his business in a trust, as he did when he was mayor. The current Oval Office occupant put the Trump Organization in a trust and stepped away from overseeing operations. Yet Bloomberg is challenging Trump for “reckless and unethical actions” representing an “existential threat.” Convincing voters that he’s a different kind of billionaire requires taking the higher road.
That limits the universe of potential buyers. Private equity firms could try to emulate Blackstone’s $20 billion purchase of Bloomberg rival Refinitiv from Thomson Reuters, the parent of Breakingviews. They’d need to band together in a so-called “club deal” to raise enough money, which they might be willing to do if it meant owning Wall Street’s elite provider of financial data.
absurdity! 😩
He is not winning .. Soooooo !!!! that does not concerned me .....
Why would he sell? Trump did not. Why would he? He would not even have to have a blind trust. Trump doesn’t. Do really think he would sell? I would not.

Doesn’t he have two sons to run it in an unblind trust?
If he wins would he sell?
He doesn’t need to divest. The Trump Family has proved this. Why is it even a question?
Same people as bought Trump Corp.
Donald Trump and Rudy Guiliani.
No one, he’d just have a friend run it and congress would be cool.
Would not need to sell that's just lefty loon thinking the Socialists who deplore success and want to endorse mediocrity by mandate and maybe mob rule
Any other Jewish billionaire who fancies to be a president ?
Not trump, he can afford one share
No need to divest. Trump doctrine.

Okay, fine. I’ll do it.
Why would he divest? Trump and GOP set a precedent already.
