Its expected cash flow must be highly optimistic now that people, businesses, and countries do not have curry favor with him now.

He does not own the building.

Who does that?! It's always been my belief that the only reason he ran for POTUS wasn't because he wanted or intended to do the job, but only because he wanted the campaign contributions. One more "business" that didn't require much on his part - he originally was paid by his father for basically doing nothing, he was just given "titles" while others did the work, according to Mary Trump's book. And his previous ventures all failed - Trump steaks, Trump vodka and the infamous Trump University - so he was desperate for unearned income.

as some people are bailing out from the damaged brand and getting out while they can, prices are WAY down, and other are snapping up these fire-sale priced bargains in hopes of a later price rise - perhaps after The Former Guy's name and the stink that comes with it has been removed from the buildings.

I swear he is carrying the handcuffs. Each time I watch it still looks the same.
