'Total blow to the brand': Ex-Trump aide on the former president's wealth woes

[Tom of Temecula]

The Donald Trump brand has always been gilded in gold. But the former president's cash crunch of late is reportedly causing concern. Former Donald Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin appearing on CNN explained that Trump world is disconcerted in publicly being shown to struggle with paying the $464 million sum set by a New York judge as part of the trial that found he and The Trump Organization committed fraud for years.

"It's incredibly bad," she said. "This is a total blow to the brand of Trump; Trump is as much a brand as he is a businessman in some ways, even more so." "Well, I think that's how he was able to get away with inflating his wealth, with being able to secure loans that were completely out of step with what his properties were actually value that."

Griffin fears that the 45th president, who has all but solidified the GOP nomination, could end up being forced to compromise himself and the country for a quick money fix.

"What I'm worried about is this, when Donald Trump is backed into a corner, he gets reckless and he makes reckless decisions," she said. "This may very well move forward next week and they starts seizing properties taken away from him." Where's he going to turn? Griffin has conjured what some are also concerned about: that there's a possibility "he's going to look to foreign" entities.

and a loser. He did that ALL by himself.

just think, you F'n, demented TRAITOR**. All you had to do was stay a private citizen, grifting and lying with impunity, f'n over your employees, contractors, vendors, lenders, and nobody would have bothered you.

It suddenly occurs to me to wonder who started whispering to him that he would make a great president? Was it daddy vlad? one of his operatives? Who encouraged this dangerously delusion grifter?

3. They brought him along, slowly, as a useful idiot

Felix Sater (keeps kiddy porn on his phone, been busted for it at Customs), Mike Cohen, and A couple other shady bastids sold the idea of Candidate Trump to the Russians.
The Clown Car primary of2015 set The Idiot up in a place nobody expected.

4. Even MbS and Putin must be taking a step back.

They read the polls. No guarantee that TSF will return to the WH. And then he doesn't pay them back.

They lose their investment. They both may be avaricious and hungry for power, but they aren't stupid.
