Do I understand this correctly?

1. Trump makes comments about illegal immigrants.
2. Hispanic customers stop going to restaurants owned by Trump.
3. Restaurants start breaking contracts such as leases to get out from businesses hurt by comments.
4. Trump sues said restaurants.
5. Due to lawsuit, emails and testimony become public record showing that the campaign, which includes the children who are employees of the business, knew that Trump was hurting the businesses through his behavior.

Is that the gist of it? If so, it seems like they are hurting their own campaign by suing and making these things public record.

If so, then Trump breached his obligations to the other shareholders.

You have to get your natural tendencies to think they have any idea what they are doing out of your head... "Normal" people would not do what they are doing but they are no where in any sort of "normal" spectrum, once you get that idea out then it all makes as much sense as it ever will...Which really is no sense at all..

Trump takes his money up front then leaves the workers and investors holding the bag long term. Tacky, overbuilt structures are then a drain on local taxpayers as they pass from one vulture to another .

Rinse, wash, repeat. It's the 0.01% business model, Romney just did it in a different industry.
