Did the threat to Trump properties influence Trump?

[Quixote1818]

That has to be at the front of his brain. You know he got phone calls from tons of businesses after the threat! One property gets hit and he is out of business because EVERY person and business would bail out of every property and sue to get out of their lease. He may have called Iran up and offered the suggestion of them hitting a base with no people to smooth things over.

1. He always brags about how hard he punches back

This is one punch that he can't fight. Even he must know that.

2. A lot of Trump's Eastern European owners have a piece of that.

They don't want to lose anything over Trump's stupidity.
I have no doubt that Putin is up to his beady little eyeballs in this mess.

3. Well, he did "stand down."

It was his move and he just sniffled and mumbled on TV. Probably had something to do with him losing money.

4. Goddamn straight - now he realizes people will analyze shell corporations, etc.

5. IIRC all Trump branded properties abroad do not belong to Trump and are simply branding deals

The list of properties he owns I believe totals nineteen and they are only here in the U.S. Those properties here in the U.S. have mostly been seeing dramatic downturns for the last three years. The only ones making money are the ones collecting graft from U.S. government agencies and foreign diplomats seeking the Orange Anus's ear.
