And I dont mean done regarding going to jail. I mean done as far as their business empire and making money. The Trump brand has already taken a hit and the only thing keeping it afloat is Trumps hold on power. Thats the only way they make their money now. But once he is out of office especially after a defeat they have nothing else. Most of the shit they sell isnt geared towards his base anyway and people will desert them once he loses. Even most of his ardent supporters will act like they never supported him (think George Bush, the way Republicans talk about him now, they act like they didnt support all the shit he did during his reign)...they have nothing left and will doing anything to hold on to what they have..... done even think a Trump loss ends all hope for Ivanka and Jr POTUS dreams, the Trump name will tarnished

If or when this shit show ends, I think it's going to become obvious that Trump really doesn't have any money. His "wealth" is leveraged simply against the cash flow os his so-called businesses. I won't be the least bit surprised to discover that Trump has a negative net worth.
He has called himself the king of debt. As Maya Angelou said, "When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time."

(22,037 posts)...consider this: What could they do? Who could they work with? Really, where would they go?
They may have some money squirreled away. It's doubtful they'll be making much more in the post-Trump future.

(22,037 posts)Trump did not own that hotel. He has zero equity in the property. He licensed his name to another company so they could put his name on the building.
It's likely that two things caused the hotel to go belly-up. First, the Covid-19 pandemic has decimated the hospitality business and hotels, restaurants, airlines, etc. have been hit hard. Second, Trump's name has pretty much lost its luster in the business world.
As with all things related to Trump, it's a scam.

He can expect polonium special sauce on his "hamberders" within a year or two after Biden is sworn in.

(6,687 posts)polonium special sauce on his hamberders. I should not be laughing at the demise of another human being, but your wording was just funny.

A whole lot of the Republican Party's roster will go down with Trump too. They're chasing after sunk costs with him. Probably no choice.

Constantly claiming voter fraud. Wants absentee ballots taken away. Creating violence on the streets. Chaos, hatred, deaths.
Ignoring COVID-19 and it's deaths (180,000) and continuing. We are in a recession and it's getting worse. Unemployment, people losing homes, can't pay rent, can't buy food and so on. . .
Sending secret police to cities. Will be sending his people to voting polls who will bully.

I want that level of shunning and scorn for the Trump name.
Maybe after Biden appoints an Independent Prosecutor, and Trump and every adult offspring is incarcerated, maybe, just maybe, the stain on the Trump name wont fade.

(6,395 posts)...to them. The Trump Brand will be so toxic, assuming they lose, will drop off off every property they own and each and everyone will assume a unique vague corporate venture name.
They are deluding themselves that much of the USA loves them like a reality star and will continue to use their products, properties, etc. Despite the fact companies licensing their name have dropped them like a bad habit. And their Washington DC hotel is losing money due to the name "Trump".
Jr. has at least seen the writing on the wall. Eric is taking more of a back seat, someone had to tell him he faces jail time. Despite that, they are hoping they get another term...and from what I read, despite Dump thinking he could get a third term...they will knife him in the back at the first opportunity.
Ivanka, however, is delusional. She desperately wants to be a woman President and tries her damnedest to look important, from the White House to meetings of global leaders...where she ends up looking like a buffoon.
But when shit hits the fan, they'll know the jig is up.
