Trump's brand

Trump's idea to go into welfare residential hotels failsAfter visiting the never officially opened Trump Tower hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan-- before criminals Trump had partnered with tried burning it down for insurance money-- I fancied myself an expert in Trump's shady hotel business.

Every time another Trump property is called out for being a major hub or criminal activity-- like in Baku and more recently, Panama City, the Trump's go to great lengths to explain that they don't own the hub and they don't know anything about it... all they do is rent the building Trump's name. In fact, all his bullshit about being a multibillionaire was always based on the "value" of his name as a brand.

I bet folks in McKee, Kentucky would LOVE a Trump-branded something in their town of 800. This one is available for movingJust under a year ago I spent some time in Azerbaijan, mostly in Baku, the capital city. I went to see Trump Tower, which had opened and closed in a matter of days, and blogged about it a bit.

I’m not kosher; I’ve never tasted vodka and there was never a time in my life that I would have bought something branded “Trump.” The very idea is— and has always been— disgusting. I do eat organic food, however, and I know well about the scam-artists who claim something is organic, usually more attractive to discerning customers (as well as more expensive), when it isn’t organic at all. That;’s illegal.

After winning the nomination in a ridiculous 16 ring circus of the weakest imaginable Republican primary contenders, Trump boasted how he would win deep blue states like New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Connecticut and California. He even wasted time and resources campaigning-- or at least holding his vanity rallies-- in this states. But he's losing all of them by huge margins.
