But with his real estate developer’s instincts for acquiring and refurbishing old properties, Trump has decided that rather than start from scratch there is a valuable brand he can easily take over and make his own: the fabled name of the Kennedy family. Over the last few weeks, Trump has gone out of his way to appropriate the Kennedy name as an offshoot of his own brand.” (02/14/25)
