In other words, list the 500 companies. It is B.S.
Does that include the companies that no longer exist like Trump University? And the hotel in Vancouver BC is not Trump's hotel, it just has Trump branding. I think Trump likes to pretend he has more businesses than he really has and the ones he really has don't seem to be doing that well. Toronto is taking Trump's name off their hotel and there is speculation Vancouver will follow.

Trump name to be removed from Trump Tower Toronto—could Vancouver be next?

Look if someone is going to throw out a number I think we have a right to at least a link. Trump once claimed he was the biggest employer in N.J. (my state) This was based on his casinos. Not even f'ing close. An obvious lie if you were from the state. Yet he made this during his election. Sorry. Trumps "truthful hyperbole" is lies in anyone elses vernacular. Any Trump backers that claim to know the expanse of his organization better being able to provide links or they are full of sh*t.

I would think by this time, that name would be a liability, not an asset. Change the name and remove the giant portraits and statues of him from the clubhouse. The fake magazine covers should come down, also.

Trump was the best option offered. He won. Deal with it.

Treating the locals like crap isn't going to make you popular there.

The last I read, the only Trump endeavors making money were those selling access to him -- Mar-A-Lago and that DC Hotel.

Not sure about that golf course he goes to every weekend. Have not run across information on it.

People are voting with their pocket books, and other than those who wish to pay to play, it does not look good for the Donald's businesses.

We have to cut Donald some slack...........he hasn't had a bankruptcy it what, 2 or 3 years now ! Any "smart" businessman goes belly up every so often, just to keep in practice.

Wonder how many Scots have been stiffed out of their paychecks ?

Good!!! Hope the Logo's start falling off of all his Properties. When the Foreign Owners, come to realize that their business associated with the Trump name is bad for business. Maybe they will all "cancel" their licensing agreement.

Our government should sue him based on the Contract for his Washington Building, the only reason he has not been sued and the contract canceled, is because of the Scared and Suck Up mentality of the Republican Congress who will accept anything if they think a $1 is in for them. Then the Ethics committee should demand that "HUD" stop all Section 8 Payments to Trump Properties, and Pay to Move the People to a New Location.
Every Tax Concession should be canceled, because no person who has fleeced the IRS and is in political office should not be allowed to get Tax Concession for anything form any City, State or County in this country.

Mueller, HURRY UP with the banking records, and send out an Arrest Warrant for the Entire Trump Family, and make them pay back every penny by forfeiture of every dollars he has washed for every faction of the Mob, both Domestic and International.

He's stolen from America by every means he could manage and then has the audacity to dare our own government to take actions, and he tried to "dismantle every element of the government" that would prohibit him from continuing his ongoing criminal activity.
America knows he sold us out to the Russian and any other Regime that he could, and when the banking traces is complete, America will know how much of a criminal he has been for many decades.

When its discovered how he has been using his Hitler, and Mussolini and Ceaușescu play book... and we had the audacity to go in and bring down Saddam, but then turn around and leave this crook, swindler and megalomaniac in office, the world will be more appalled at America for its lack of consistency in its policy.

He has damaged every world leader with his Climate Withdrawal, and with his aim to torpedo the Iran deal of which every nation had a part over a long term process to reach that agreement, any act Trump does against that agreement 'Insults Every Nation of the Global" who helped craft it.

He has damaged diplomacy to a degree that decades of America's works has been hurt in nearly every country that stands as our Allies.

Every time we get to truth telling levels, the thread disappears....
