What will the "Trump Brand" be worth after he loses the election?

Is the monetary value of his brand worth more to him than winning the election?
Which will win out, greed or vanity?
On that question rests the answer to whether he will drop out or not.

I personally doubt it will have the cachet it had before November, 2016.

I’ve never stayed at a Trump property. I’ve felt that Starwood, Wyndham, and Hilton properties were better-managed.

that he still owes his creditors. I suspect that they’ll want to be repaid.

I think what he's been "skimming" is about enough to cover the interest on debt.
He's using the position to stay afloat.
I don't think he's bailed out the boat just yet.

Spouting some Trump campaign propaganda and warning how screwed we will be if we don't re-elect Trump.

Once foreign countries aren't going to his properties to curry favor, business will drop precipitously. Many properties already are suffering. But I suspect the lecture circuit will be profitable.

It just stretches the definition of lecture really far. Words like lecture, think-tank and symposium juxtaposed with Trump make me giggle. However, I could see him do a white paper.

He will be worse off after he loses and when the loans are called, he will have to go declare a sixth bankruptcy. I bet his name would become radioactive and the names of all the properties will be changed.

He is trying to sell the Trump Hotel business in Wash DC.

How much will it be worth once his friends and party do not need to curry favor with him anymore?

Many rooms paid for by foreign gov'ts and never used.

Overpriced rates for his own party and supporters.

He's going to have to figure out a way to exploit them to sustain himself.
