Remember how trump always claimed his name brand was worth billions

There was a case in Europe where the courts denied it was worth anything. I wonder how many loans are coming due where he used his name as collateral? Maybe in the future his name will be synonymous with many things but no one would pay to use it.

Any bank who continues to deal with this crook better be paid up front. They may find that they are co-owners of another flim flam.

Although I suspect his next move is to try and start a right wing media outlet to rival Fox. I actually think that was always his plan. Actually winning 2016 was as much a shocker to him as everyone else.

tRump Tower in Chicago is largely vacant and unable to lease commercial/retail space; and tRump Tower New York is home to unsavory characters and international crime lords. The golf courses in Scotland are depreciating in value. And Mar a Lago -- the less said about that cesspool, the better...

he was "going for a 3rd term bc he deserved it"?

What happened to your 2nd term, ASSFACE?!

Thanks for the reminder, CQ.. I think you're on to something about the "future of the trump name brand". He did it to himself.

Takes it for an appraisal. The jeweler says: “sorry, but this watch is Trump”. Man walks out and tosses Trump into the garbage while cursing his gullibility.

for that matter, how was it worth anything before.? The list of Trump businesses that have gone under is long and varied .. he has put his name on lots of crap .. vodka, steaks, casinos, airline, beverages, Trump cologne, menswear, the Trump game, Trump magazine, mortgage company, travel company, and of course, his fake university. The only regular clients at his hotels are the bedbugs. He own at least 15 golf courses and they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars. The only successful venture in the last 2 decades is that stupid reality show.
