And that is shrinking now.

It was never as cashed up as he claimed but it's his only treasure.

Melanis may take him for a settlement before he finally crumbles completely.

he refused the opposition research and most other must haves of a normal campaign.
Plus he doesn't like bad news and prefers to make up his own reality.

buying Trump steaks and just avail themselves of the taco trucks, which we're told will be "on every corner."

Another Trump brand bites the dust.

The horror, the horror.

...and this kind of behavior can be dangerous to anyone around him, as we're witnessing now.

Should he become POTUS, I really doubt that there would be any serious attempt to impeach him by the collection of cowards that make up today's GOP. And I am sure that he felt the office would reinvigorate the Trump brand - there'd be quid-pro-quo's for just about every Executice action that he would take, which not so coincidentally, help the Trump brand.

So losing POTUS must be excruciating to Trump. He will forever be a political loser, bigly! Maybe the worst of all time. And the hit to the brand and his financial bottom line will be profound. I bet lots of loans are going to get called immediately and I can see the Trump name coming off all of the real estate deals as he's forced to liquidate to pay his debts.

Then there are the scams, lawsuits, and assault charges that await him. He's going to be very busy spending a lot of quality time with his lawyers as they fight a multi-faceted gauntlet of federal, state, and local charges.

Couldn't happen to a more hubristic, serial sex offending asshole.
