Backlash to riot at Capitol hobbles Trump’s business as banks, partners flee the brand
WaPo vis MSN ^ | 1/13/21 | Josh Dawsey, David Fahrenthold, Jonathan O'Connell

In November — as President Trump began his effort to overturn the election he had lost — his longtime friend Tom Barrack called him with advice: Stop, for the sake of your business.

The Trump Organization was already struggling, hurt by political backlash and coronavirus-related closures, facing huge unpaid loans. Barrack told Trump that he could help that business — as well as his aides, and the country itself — by ensuring a peaceful transition, according to a person familiar with the conversation.

An “elegant” exit, Barrack said, could preclude what could be a painful future: millions of dollars in legal costs, rampant investigations and more boycotts of his businesses.

Trump did not follow Barrack’s advice.

Yeah, I know. Washington Post. But anyone who doesn't think that the economic war against Trump and his business isn't gaining steam is just kidding himself. The knives are out and The Trump Organization is the intended victim.

But everyone knoiws it was not Trump’s fault. We ALL know. Some are just pretending otherwise...

That will not end well for them.

This is the message to any outsider who opposes the Establishment:

Oppose us and you will face political exile, economic ruin and possible prison. We have the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Academia, the Media as well as damn near all of Pop Culture on our side and if you challenge we, we will destroy you.

Same thing they told Martin Luther back in 1520. How’d that all work out?

We shall see, because when Pc replaces quality work, you got the Soviet Union.

My bet is this is going to be temporary..

One thing is for sure, NyC will never recover.

Indeed, war of the gods is extremely ill advised from the party of the cynics . Catholic church still reeling to this day.

They’ve much more to lose. The top 🔝 of the maker chain in this country still backs Trump. Put the loosers down.

Germany ended up murdering millions, partly due to his words. In the end, it destroyed the continent due to guilt.

Tom Barrack called him with advice: Stop, for the sake of your business.

Stop, for the sake of your business. Wow. Not the sake of the country, but your business. Trump didn't stop, because he believed, understands that if not for this country his business wouldn't have existed.

What was it Glenn Beck used to say about our founding fathers? They risked their lives and fortunes. President Trump never took a paycheck the entire time in office. It was always donated. And now the destruction of Trump the man is happening. And they will destroy all of us too.

The band wagon socialists all working hand in hand to bring the communist revolution to America.

They are not after Trump, they are after You and Me. He was in the way.

Wait til we bail out the EU Central Bank by summer and all this will be better understood. The German bank is under huge pressure from the Biden folks. This will come out eventually - Biden will bail out the EU Banks when the Central Bank fails and dies - the West will be saved. England, USA and Japan Central Banks rescue themselves as the EU is bailed out.

They are just using it as an excuse. And it’s a really poor one. If they had only waited until after the swearing in of Biden, they probably would have a lot of good ones over the months.

I’ve jokingly said things like my tag line and other similar things, e.g. the soviet style purge of conservative voices on the internet and the continued scare tactics by Fauci, et al. But it struck me just yesterday, full force, what it all actually means. It is no joke. It is real. And it WILL happen. Internationally.

This is a worldwide equivalent of the Russian revolution and the rise of Nazism in one thing, And it will take no prisoners when in full force. And it WILL be in full force in probably less than a year, two at most.

Get your affairs in order and make peace with God (or find Him in the first place). This is going to get rough.

Backlash? I think it’s called RICO.

I know you will be cheering from the sidelines knowing your comment history on Trump. Probably put a little smile on your face.
