Flimsy and debt-besieged even before the 2016 election, the Trump empire is in even worse shape now.
After the 1.6 Capitol insurrection and yesterday’s Impeachment 2.0, all the big corporate interests consider Trump a pariah and are cutting ties. In terms of his present financial interests (hotels, golf courses) he’s starting to look like a serious loser. Or, if you will, a dead man. No Twitter, no nothin’.
Not to mention the IRS hounds and the coming prosecutions from New York State Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. If Trump were to liquidate everything he owns, could he even pay off the alleged $400 million he owes? Maybe but then what?
Yes, he could theoretically build a media company upon his 75 million looney-tune rightwing followers, but one way or the other he’s going to spend the rest of his life in court, and gradually — here’s the real killer — the news media is going to lose interest in him.
How much longer will he live with his fast-food diet and all? Ten years? Less?
Incidentally: I like Secular Talk‘s Kyle Kulinski, who’s pretty sharp, can think clearly on his feet and as of last summer had 848,000 YouTube subscribers and roughly a half-billion YouTube views.
