Profiting off presidency? Trump business takes hit since election
When workers pried the [Individual-1] name off another Manhattan building earlier this year, it capped a bad few weeks for the president’s businesses.
[Individual-1]’s golf resorts in Scotland had just posted millions of dollars in losses, one of his hotels in Panama had rebranded itself a Marriott, and New York officials announced they were looking into how he avoided paying tens of millions in taxes.
All that, along with the daily drumbeat of [Individual-1] tweets and headlines about investigations into his administration, led Austin, Texas, tech executive Gary Barrett to finally give up hope of ever turning a profit on an apartment he bought as an investment in a [Individual-1] tower in Las Vegas.
“People with enough cash to buy these units seem to be shying away from the Trump name,” Barrett said, calling it “the Trump effect.” - St. George News
