Rump's name brand has already been destroyed. Few hotels etc. want to be associated with this creep.

If Donald Trump is nothing else, he’s an American brand. The Trump name adorns luxury condominiums, hotels and golf courses around the world; it has sold a TV show, millions of books, a line of cologne and even, briefly, an airline.

And that brand, according to new data published here in Politico Magazine for the first time, is taking a major hit in the wake of his presidential campaign.

They make up his base. Unfortunately for Drumpf most are low income and don't have money to spend on luxury hotels.

but the Trump Hotel in Toronto seemed to be almost empty when I was visiting the city this past summer during their July 1st holiday weekend there.

He had to have known that all this shit would surface.

He was stupid enough to think that he would get away with it.

Of course, it is now up to the American people to not fall for it. I wish it was a higher standard.

I had a feeling this would come, sooner or later.

Another sign what a lousy businessman he is.
