I Would Not Like To Be In Any Trump Buildings - Hotel Or Home Owner....

during these days of Iranian revenge. I have to believe Trump's buildings and his family will be targets.

Trump has got to be aware of what he unleashed by ordering 'drone assassination'.

when the idiot pulled off his assassination.

The downside to this is that then there will be even more taxpayer financing of security at his properties.

4. Trump doesn't own most of his hotels any more; he only licenses his name.

And that name will become more unpopular than ever when the Iranians start blowing up hotels with the name Trump on them.

name licensing income dwindles. And his name becomes anathema.

That was a good article, Catwoman. Makes a lot of sense: "Or, as Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies, put it: “If [Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] were killed, or [al-Qaeda leader] Ayman al-Zawahiri, you can try to strike the president or strike in the United States. Or you can strike a Trump hotel.”

was Salman Rushdie. He pretty much went into hiding for life, didn't he? And he only had a 20M bounty on his head.

14. Rushdie lives in the U.S. and is now an American citizen.

He seems to be a good liberal:

Rushdie supported the election of Democrat Barack Obama for the American presidency and has often criticized the Republican Party. In Indian politics, Rushdie has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party and its Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rushdie was involved in the Occupy Movement, both as a presence at Occupy Boston and as a founding member of Occupy Writers. Rushdie is a supporter of gun control, blaming a shooting at a Colorado cinema in July 2012 on the American right to keep and bear arms.

Rushdie supported the vote to remain in the EU during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum. He attained American citizenship in 2016 and voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

The fatwa is still in effect but it doesn't appear that there have been any recent assassination attempts.
