One silver lining to this election is that Trump will be so radioactive his businesses are screwed.

He'll never get another TV show, and the business of the hotels and resorts bearing his name will undoubtedly suffer.

I don't think he's going to get a ton of customers at his resorts from the Redhats.

his customer base are now a bunch of trash losers who resent (a) minorities (b) empowered women and (c) their successful neighbors and acquaintances

not exactly the crowd who'll keep luxury resorts and golf courses in business
