Do people struggle with the concept that an old ruthless businessman continues to be a ruthless businessman?

I don't remember him setting up a foundation and giving away all his money and assets prior to getting into office!

Though I don't like it as explanation or topic as it ventures into "it's just business" and "business as usual" in a way that normalises it

Read that article and it makes most of this conversation irrelevant and pointless. I have to say this is the only thing that even makes sense.
