Death of the Trump brand?

[Max E.]

Whats that old addage again..... "Reports of my death were highly exaggerated"

I: suspect 2 years from now Trumps brand will be bigger than ever, the guys made a career off of being a flambouyant jackass, his whole motto has always been "no publicity is bad publicity" and ppl really think this is going to change that? Somehow i doubt it....... From here on out it will be "Ex presidential Trump Towers" And he will most likely figure out a way to market that at 2x the cost per square foot.

Trump makes most of his money by lending out his name to brand on buildings. For example the Trump Tower in Toronto has his name on it and he makes money from it. But he has nothing to do with the funding, construction or maintenance of the build - even when windows fall out of it or the antenna wobbles on top.

Surprising the latest huge projects that Trump is lending his name to are spread across the Middle East - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the U.A.E. and Dubai. One of them features "42-million square foot development (the Pentagon is 6-million square feet) includes 104 villas and mansions that begin at more than $1 million U.S. dollars and climb to over $10 million a pop."

His anti-Muslim rhetoric has not slowed down these projects at all. His brand is far from dead. In fact business has picked up for him since he has run for President.

I don't think so. You're not looking beyond the tip of your nose. He would then only exacerbate an already bad situation. I doubt that his appeal reaches beyond the Duck Dynasty contingent.

You my friend are whistling past the graveyard if you think that Trump loses steam after a terrorist attack. The do nothing hand wringing will be seen as exacerbating an already bad situation. The people will want action. Hell, the people already want more action that what's happening. Few more bodies pile up, the blood lust will boil over. Who's going to provide the required action? Hillary? The story is already out today that someone gave a stand down order after the first wave of the Benghazi attack. Who might that person be?

Trump has done nothing to hint at "totalitarianism." That would imply ignoring the Constitution and laws of the country and defying congress. You know, like obama has done.

you're the one who calls Trump a totalitarian when all you really mean is you don't agree with him

I just follow the news.

Trump's political base begins and ends with the Duck Dynasty contingent. What a happy coincidence that his given name is Donald.

Anyhow, I've had my fill of your bullshit, see you in a few months.

You've had enough of my "bullshit" for a few months and about a week later you're in my thread?

Fuck you, you don't own this joint.

And, evidently, you don't own what you say.
