What happens after Trump looses?

His brand is already suffering. I predicted as much some time ago; and it will continue to suffer. There would be a special, glowing kind of schadenfreude if he became one of the poor people he seems to despise. I doubt he'd sink quite that low though. But, the man honestly doesn't have that great of a business sense, so one can always hope.

He has a great business sense, make money without putting your own money and assets at risk. Sure, he is no Elon Musk though.
 
I despised Trump when the circus began. The hypnotic circus designed to hypnotize us all into believing we actually have a choice, I mean. As time went on, I started to like him. That is of course part of the drama. You like the villain in the falling action of the story type thing. It is all very brilliant and I couldn't have written it better myself. The real time authors of great portions of our reality are amazing and I would love to apply for the job.

I know I have no actual choices in American Politics, and the clowns running around the arena smacking each other are mere entertainment and complex propaganda crafted so well I'd like to shake the cold hands that created it. As for who "wins" the Presidency, it really does not matter in my opinion.

There are moves in at least a couple of cities I know of to try and get the Trump name removed from buildings there since they don't want the name of such an open racist displayed so prominently in their skyline and that kind of attitude existing puts a major obstacle in the way of his leasing his name for any future buildings.

There is lots of precedent to use eminent domain to remove neighborhood "blight."

I don't think so. People keep giving Drumpf credit for intelligence, suave', and cleverness he simply doesn't possess. In our culture, there's often an immediate and strong deference to the wealthy, because they must have earned it all somehow. This man is no intellectual giant, no clever negotiator, nor a charming or brilliant businessman.

He opens up Trump Mortgage right before the housing bubble burst, when a deaf, blind, mute deep in the Amazon knew it would pop anytime soon. His airline, his travel company, beverages, game, communication company, etc. You're right about one thing, he does like to take people's money after taking them for a ride: ala Trump tower Tampa, and his "University", both which would be at home with late night TV pitches about how to make BIG $$$ in real estate without using your own money! His bankruptcies also, he's stiffed more creditors...he makes money as you say, by risking other people's cash. I don't consider that especially smart, I consider it predatory. Some may disagree.

Trump is a brand, and one which he himself currently (tremendously) over values based on how he feels that particular day, according to his own statements.
 
He'll try to run again and be a thorn in the side of the opposition. I doubt he's going to give up after his first try.

I'm not talking about threats of 'millions of supporters' :rolleyes: rioting in the streets if he is not nominated.

I'm talking about say a year or two later. After getting cozy with racists for so long, and offending just about every group he can find, what will that do to the Trump brand? I would think that any future reality shows featuring him would fail so badly that his TV career is done. And that businesses/buildings that use his name will look to how to get out of those contracts, and few new ones looking to take up his brand.

What actually changes?

Non-racist people didn't like him in the first place.

Conservatives like him even more.

I can't imagine there are many people in the business world that haven't figured out that he's mostly hot air by now. Surely his very public bankruptcies proved that by now. People who do business with him do so solely for the name recognition, and if anything his racism amplifies that.

What actually changes for him?

Those are obviously foreigners who are just jealous of America's greatness! That's why we need Trump to make America great again!!!!! [/conservolibertarian]

He didn't lose though. He fucking smashed them.
I think that was a good thing, as it is a real wake up call to the corrupt establishment. Hitlery will likely win, which is bad as she will just sell her soul to do it (clearly this will involve rehypothecation :)), and then she will probably start WW3.

The more pressure from outsiders like Trump and Sanders the better.

Interestingly it seems to be an unpopularity contest, not a poularity contest. :)
Exclusive: Top reason Americans will vote for Trump: 'To stop Clinton' - poll

The U.S. presidential election may turn out to be one of the world's biggest un-popularity contests.

Nearly half of American voters who support either Democrat Hillary Clinton or Republican Donald Trump for the White House said they will mainly be trying to block the other side from winning, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday.

This election kind of reminds me of the last election for governor of Florida.

Scott like Trump was a despicable candidate with large negatives.

But he ran against Crist, who also had a lot of baggage, and Scott won despite his negatives.

Trump has a hope to win this election because the Democrats, even though they had a choice, picked a candidate with a lot of baggage.

Trying to predict Trump is meaningless. We have no idea what he'd do if he doesn't get the nomination. If he lost the General Election, big whoop. I did see an interesting article about how Trump may have trouble paying for a General Election.

I don't think that Trump knows what he is going to say and do from one time to the next.

Trump won't pay for the general election run nor will he finally pay for the primary campaign. He loaned his primary campaign the money, he will use contributions to pay off the loans and to pay for the general election campaign.
 
It all depends on how he loses. His loss could easily flip the Senate. And not only help elect Democratic Senators but a lot of women Senators at that. And a prime player in this has been Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has been fund raising for these new Senators. So we could have a new block of more progressive Senators and Warren becomes more of a mover and shaker. This all could be very interesting indeed.

He needs $500 to $1000 million, he can't get that from contributions.

Are you ready for it? Yeah the guy who is "so rich he can't be bought' is going to need Super PAC help, meaning he is "being bought".

In Capitalistic America, Billionaire asks poor man for money to run for President.

I don't think you understand how clever Trump is.
The author of the Dilbert comic might. He is also a qualified hypnotist.
Be afraid...be very afraid.

Donald Trump will win in a landslide. *The mind behind ‘Dilbert’ explains why.

Most simply put: Adams believes Trump will win because he’s “a master persuader.”
The Manhattan mogul is so deft at the powers of persuasion, Adams believes, that the candidate could have run as a Democrat and, by picking different hot-button issues, still won this presidency. In other words: Trump is such a master linguistic strategist that he could have turned the political chessboard around and still embarrassed the field.

Adams does not claim to be a trained political analyst. His stated credentials in this arena, says Adams — who holds an MBA from UC Berkeley — largely involve being a certified hypnotist and, as a writer and business author, an eternal student in the techniques of persuasive rhetoric. (His self-help memoir is titled “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life.”)

“The most important thing when you study hypnosis is that you learn that humans are irrational,” Adams tells Comic Riffs. “Until you understand that, hypnosis is hard to do. … For me, it was this great awakening to understand that humans are deeply irrational, and it’s probably the greatest influence on me in terms of my writing.”

He will return to being the Clinton's best friend and a loyal Democrat.

Democrats who have been so busy vilifying him will be confused.

Have you been paying attention? Democrats don't hate Trump for being a Republican. They hate Trump for being a blatant racist, misogynist and having truly bad policy positions.

That's not going to change after the election. There's never going to be a post election Trump confusion syndrome for Democrats.
 
As far as Trump is concerned, life will probably get better after he loses. For one thing, he will have a lot more of his own personal money since he will no longer be spending it on a campaign. Trump will be better off.

For the rest of us, life will just stay exactly the same. The middle class will continue to fail and the richer will continue to get richer. I'm figuring that Hillary will do exactly what Obama has been doing except for more personal gain for herself. The steel industry will continue to flounder and there will continue to be no good manufacturing jobs. And there will be nothing said to the bankers who are already on their way to another huge bubble. And the world will be facing another banking crises and bubble depression since nothing has been or will be done to control banking derivatives.
