> [@octopus](#): > > 10s of millions are going to vote for Trump. He’ll be fine. The problem is that he insulted hundreds of millions. Trump hadn’t been a red state brand, he has leased his name to all kinds of endeavors all over the world. He famously made an ass of himself about Brexit when he was visiting his golf course in Scotland. If you think blue state America has had enough of Trump, imagine how the rest of the world is going to react to his brand now. ---

Mostly he’ll be blowing through his kids’ inheritances. If he lives to age 90, they may find they’ve spent all this time sucking up to the old man for nothing. … I can hardly wait to see one of those “We’re spending the kids’ inheritances!” bumper stickers beside the door to the jet. 🙂 ---

If you think blue state America has had enough of Trump, imagine how the rest of the world is going to react to his brand now. Agreed. Now consider this: > [@RTFirefly](#): > > These days, most of his income is apparently from selling his name to people who want to plaster it on their own high-end properties. He’s gonna be SOL with respect to such deals in the future. But surely he’s got deals where his counterparties are committed to paying for the use of his name for the next ten or twenty years. > … He probably does have some deals with a good span of years left in them. Both in the US and elsewhere. Imagine being in charge of (or owning) some golf course or resort or fancy schmancy condo building where you’re obligated to pay to have Trump’s name plastered on your property for the next 10+ years. Sucks to be you. The contract may have some material impairment clause you could use to escape. But it may not. Either way, tearing down his name and rebranding yourself will be costly and will almost certainly invite a lawsuit from dear old Donald, impairment clause or no. He’ll certainly believe he’s still popular, facts be damned. There is going to be a lot of angst amongst the fat cat set that did business with him before. ---
