It may not be well known among his cult followers, but demagogue and f*cking moron Donald "Rump" Trump (a.k.a. President Spanky, Pee Brain, and Cadet Bone Spurs) isn't a mega-developer in the sense that he actually builds anything anymore, like Trammel Crow and Greystar do. For years, the master con man has persuaded developers, builders and entrepreneurs that his name adds value to their property, so he's been licensing his name to use on everything from bottled water to a board game. It looks like that grift may be winding down.
According to reports, since he launched his xenophobic, racist and misogynist campaign for President in 2015, Rump's deals with companies to brand their products have dwindled from 19 to 2:
"Many of Trump's business ventures were unsuccessful, with products like "Trump: The Game" and Trump Ice bottled water now selling only on sites like eBay and Amazon (sometimes for hundreds of dollars). In addition to the products that didn't quite take off, many companies have ended partnerships with Trump either because they disagree with his rhetoric or because they report having seen a sharp decrease in sales since Trump took office."As an example, Macy's formerly carried Rump's foreign-made clothing line, but after his vicious attacks on Mexican immigrants during the campaign, Macy's discontinued their relationship. Those products that are still being sold on eBay and Amazon are sold at inflated prices as collector's items. His growing legal problems are certain to drive whatever minimum value his name brand has down even further.
The stain of the father has also been visited on his complicit daughter / object of his lust Ivanka, with a boycott of her foreign-made clothing and accessories continuing. She's also the subject of an FBI probe into the shady financing and negotiations over the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, Canada. Also, she and husband Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner have found themselves embroiled in questions about foreign financing and play-to-play schemes.
For someone who has spent the past 40 years puffing about his worth and trying to sell himself as a self-made business genius (who inherited his daddy's multi-million dollar business), Rump has succeeded in taking a leaky boat to begin with (due to multiple bankruptcies) and shooting holes in the bottom with his reckless behavior and rhetoric.
