I think any business that continues to be involved with the Trump Organisation run the serious risk of its customers anger. All responsible businesses will withdraw from the Trump Organisation as soon as possible.

There is no risk of "repercussions" by millions of Trump supporters,
especially by hard core supporters?

In practice: for almost all businesses it will not be binary Yes/No
choice. Some "in between" options: no *new* contracts, not most
preferred choice, say one thing but do another, … .
For many "politically active" businesses the trick will be to not enrage
luke warm Trump supporters. Hard core Trump supporters will be enraged
anyway.

Sure. I think the very name 'Trump' is quickly becoming a toxic word, and many businesses will realise this soon, and take active steps to disassociate themselves form the word 'Trump'.

Toxic Trump.....only idiots would use his golf course now.
Who long do you expect your "now" last? [Four Biden (D) years or more]
For some (mostly niche) businesses standing behind Trump may make
perfect business sense. Even a few brave risk takers at bottom 1st
league are likely IMHO.

" *Everyone* is against Trump" would mean end of democracy and end of
freedom of speech. The best you should hope for is "big majority" against
Trump. Even this is not very likely *after Biden inauguration* IMHO.

Nah, didn't think so. Lying Trump...his lying and deceiptful practices, his letting criminals go free, his non-acceptance of democracy, his incitement to riots.....these are suddenly of no concern to you.

Businesses will soon start to boycott anything with the toxicity of the Trump name.

You are wrong anyway - don't forget 75 million voted for Trump and they
will be more than happy to support right-leaning businesses.

Also, since conservatives tend to have more disposable income, you'd be
crazy to stifle your businesses by alienating that demographic!

Trump is certainly able to whip up an impressive following. However
he doesn't have a bully pulpit any longer and can't get his message
out. This will change.

The amateur storm troopers he directed now realise he's prepared to
abandon them as soon as they get arrested. If that mood of betrayal
catches on then Trump will lose more of his base.

The riot seemed pretty intentional to me. It had been billed weeks
in advance. On the day, Trump whipped them up into a frenzy and
directed them to the Capitol building. He didn't actually use the
words "break into the debating chambers" but the rioters knew the
purpose Trump had assembled them for, at the exact time both houses
were receiving the electoral college vote.

Senators (D) will buy your interpretation. I doubt 16+ Senators (R)
are going to buy it. IMHO It is "possible but +unlikely" with
good/proper defence. IMHO From Republicans perspective one or two
"defectors in Senate" may even look good especially with no Democrat
defector. I personally do not expect more than at most five R
defectors in (reasonably) very bad scenario for Trump.

Toxic Trump.....he'll be let off by his toxic friends, who'll then pay the price for their misguided loyalty. Any Republican who now supports Trump will be known as an idiot forever. But, even the Republicans would never be daft enough to elect Trump again as a candidate.

Deutsche Bank, infamous for its money laundering, know a lot of
Trump's dirty business secrets. If those two have had a tiff then
who know what beans will get spilt.

Could be very interesting.

On Trump's last day in office, he's expected to issue around 100 presidential pardons. Pardoning criminals. MelBoy, Abbie, Nugent....anything to say? No? Thought not. LOL.

Test and Trace (which Hancock defended so valiantly that he faked

Apparently Trump has been starting to talk to himself a lot recently. Frustrated that no one is answering his calls...even BonZo is, according to his secretary, is "not available right now"......well, he hasn't been available for the last few weeks. Trump has, they say, become paranoid, imagining everyone is sniggering and smirking behind his back.

BonZo, the hypocritical twit.....over much of the last year he's been threatening to disobey international law, just like Trump. Now, all of a sudden, BonZo is pretending to be a friend of Biden. BonZo is just a mini-Trump, in many ways...doesn't do detail, over-privileged, and pretty thick.

I think any business that continues to be involved with the Trump Organisation run the serious risk of its customers anger. All responsible businesses will withdraw from the Trump Organisation as soon as possible.
""Even here, people don't like him," Leamer said, referring to residents of Palm Beach -- many of whom voted for Trump in hopes of lower taxes and a booming stock market. "It's just another measure of how his power has declined.""

Members are quitting 'sad' Mar-a-Lago after Trump loses....loser of a president, 'pardoning' criminals....what people would ever want to be associated with Trump the Liar? What businesses would want their name/brand tarnished by Trump?

I think many businesses will follow suit now, and dump loser Trump. Who'd want to be associated with such a thick and arrogant idiot?

No, I'm quite happy though to compare my numbers with yours. Do you accept that Trump was an abysmal failure of a president though, and his efforts to distort the truth were appalling?
What do you reckon to the likelihood that the Replublicans will let him off from his obvious crimes?

None of that has anything to do with me or with you.

I always refrained from commenting on Obama's performance too.

Idiots in politics.....and they'll bring themselves into further bother and unelectability if they support Trump now.

I think that evil people such as Impeachment Trump who lie and incite violence, wherever they are in the world, affects us all. It's no wonder business are stopping their relationships with the Toxic Trump Organisation.

OK, it's good you've found another topic to obsess about, but could I
point out that

a) Trump is no longer president

b) he never was president of the UK, after which uk.politics.misc is so
quaintly named.

Still, would you be so kind as to close this subject by quoting Trump's
'incitement to violence'? The quotation must come from his speech on
January 6th, of which several transcripts appear on the Net for you to
read for the first time.

UK will be always responsible for "former colonies"! ;-)

AFAIR Trump has a few businesses in UK but It would be plain stupid to
jump ahead of *mass* US boycott [which is unlikely but possible IMHO).

Exactly, I think that as time goes by, Trump will be seen for the lying scumbag that he really is. And any business that remains loyal to this loser will face the consequences too.

Years ago, it was possible to occasionally see an old and often
dishevelled woman coming towards you in the street who, as she passed
with her several carrier bags, could be heard talking, often quite
animatedly, to herself.

Today, you'd probably just assume she was on a hands free 'phone, but
back then, many people took the view that talking to yourself was an
early sign of madness.

What's your excuse?

[I love your response to yourself, starting with that vigorous
"Exactly..."! There's nothing like marking your own homework, is there? ;-)]
