We’ve all heard the stories about consequences for our actions, then it seems fitting that so many chickens have started to ‘come home to roost’ for tRump.
If chickens are coming home to roost, someone is suffering the unpleasant consequences of their bad actions in the past. www.englishclub.com/...
It appears that his real estate empire is paying the price for his own past actions.
Trump’s business brand was once synonymous with wealth and success, an image that now clashes sharply with a political brand rooted in the anger of his largely rural and working-class voter base. His presidency is now associated in the minds of many with its violent end, as supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Those searing images, along with years of bitter rhetoric, are costing Trump money. Revenues from some of his high-end properties have declined, vacancies in office buildings have increased and his lenders are warning that the company’s revenues may not be sufficient to cover his debt payments, according to Trump’s financial disclosures as president, Trump Organization records filed with government agencies, and reports from companies that track real-estate company finances.

As far as I am concerned, its about time the shoe (as it were) has switched feet. In light of everything he has done over these past decades, culminating in his disastrously dangerous presidency, I can’t say I’m not surprised. I’ve always believed that what you do or give out, comes back to you eventually in one way or another, but in some cases in spades.
The damage to Trump’s business image started early in his presidency. One consultant for Trump, arguing in a 2017 public hearing for a lower tax bill at his Doral golf resort, said Trump’s politics had damaged his business model.
“It’s actually not about the property, it is about the brand,” said consultant Jessica Vachiratevanurak, at a December 2017 hearing of the Miami-Dade Value Adjustment Board, in a video recording reviewed by Reuters. She cited a meeting she attended where top Trump Organization executives had described “severe ramifications” to his golf business from, for instance, tournaments and charity events being canceled by organizations wanting to avoid associating with Trump.
So the downhill spiral is in process. I can’t blame businesses for wanting to avoid anything to do with him, considering the disaster he has caused, and continues to manufacture. Common sense and consideration for others appears to be four letter words to him.
Experts say the prospect of any new Trump-branded development faces long odds. One hotel industry executive said hotel developers – worried about cutting themselves off from the millions of customers turned off by Trump – will likely think twice before signing any branding deals to put the Trump name on their properties.
Its a shame to see someone who had the opportunities he had, to misuse them so spectacularly and so selfishly. He could have done so much good in the world had he just been a better person.
