(4,007 posts)Think he already may have crossed the Rubicon here!
Think about it: bookings at his hotels, restaurants, golf sites and more are substantially down as reported by various news organizations. Business journals have also reported business entities around the world are fleeing from the Trump name, have taken down Trump's name from resorts, condo buildings and more. Sales of Trump named clothing have tanked and some stores voluntarily pulled his goods.
Now, comes the news that his alleged charitable foundation is caught self-dealing. One can bet that donations to this Trump 'piggybank', that is, how he has used this cash cow for personal gain, will also tank immediately, drying up all his pocket money, given that it's still in the millions.
Upshot? Everything he has allegedly 'built" is now in tatters, with the NY State AG, SEC, IRS and maybe even FBI investigations seriously underway for self-dealing, Russian mob cash and US election interference, excise tax evasion and more! Further, his standing in the business community, with widespread tales of contractor non-payments and hundreds of lawsuits for each property, mean no smart firm will deal with him unless it's cash on the barrelhead. Cash btw is a commodity he is woefully short of.
Wow, could not happen to a nicer guy, eh? Bwahahahhahaha!
