1. Whether or not they actually attack any Trump properties, the damage is done.

Who's going to want to set foot in a Trump hotel anywhere if they think it could be attacked?

[brush]

20. Yep, pretty smart of the Iranians...retaliation with just a list.

[keithbvadu2]

52. Certainly not a list of cultural sites.

Certainly not a list of cultural sites.

[George II]

60. I wouldn't put the words "trump" and "cultural" in the same sentence!

[3Hotdogs]

78. Ya beat me to it.

[3Hotdogs]

77. Using "culture" in the same sentence as Trump -----

[33taw]

96. Unless referring to a fungus.

[tosh]

100. Good one!

[George II]

106. I wouldn't mind seeing trump floating around in a petri dish.

[jmowreader]

98. Trump thinks they are

I really knew something like this would happen. The Iranians know the only way to faze Trump is to threaten his own properties.

Threaten to blow Fort Bragg off the map? No problem, at least to Donnie.

Threaten to check into a Trump hotel and steal the bathrobe? Now he's really angry. This is Fargin War!

[wryter2000]

28. My guess is

The threat is sufficient. Not as bad as threatening cultural sites.

[getagrip_already]

41. The us military will....

Trump will just park troops in his proerties at 10x the going rate. Plus they will harden his properties at our expense. He will ake a large fortune out of the fees he will charge us.

[KPN]

59. I won't be surprised if that in fact happens and only Democrats bellow about it.

[Lock him up.]

74. Go ahead and book rooms for your family there...

Not.

Another big tRump disorganization bankruptcy looms...

[IronLionZion]

99. Saudis and Russians book rooms there

but don't stay there. Just giving money.

[olegramps]

43. Trump is doing a grand job of self destruction. We should sit back an enjoy it.

He has done a marvelous job of creating millions of enemies who want him dead of worse in their clutches.

[machoneman]

63. Yes, and his entire family is now in the cross-hairs of Iran's most radical elements.

Ah, but he'll blame President Obama, Hillary, Nancy, Chcuk and everyone in a blue state!

[Chakaconcarne]

48. Just like Iran promised..

Retaliation without doing anything....

I was thinking they would just take out the tower in Iran, but that would get a military response....

[zentrum]

68. Oh wow. Very smart.

[GoCubsGo]

82. Yeah, this sounds like the "Billy Valentine" school of revenge.

As Eddie Murphy's character in "Trading Places" said, "The best way to hurt a rich guy is to make them poor." These threats are going to send people running from any properties with his name on them. Kiss all that revenue good-bye. He's not even going to be able to sell them before this is all over.

[fleur-de-lisa]

2. Oh boy! Trump's properties were already failing . . .

who would visit them now?

[MontanaMama]

26. There's always his pals from Saudi Arabia.

[SharonAnn]

35. Saudis are Sunni Muslims. Iran is Shia Muslims. Shias don't like Sunnis.

[MontanaMama]

55. I actually meant the MF's friend

MBS. They’ll still use his properties.

[Arazi]

109. The biggest spenders never stay there. It's a bribery scheme, they book and pay but don't stay

[tikka]

3. Hope that they don't go after the Doral

It's doing its best to hurt Traitor45. It just keeps losing money.

[brush]

62. Is it true it's next to a garage dump?

[dewsgirl]

84. It is. I believe the photos are at the link.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212648654

[DinahMoeHum]

94. As it is, the PGA tour no longer goes to Doral. . .

. . .after 55 years as a tour stop.

[bluestarone]

4. tRUMPS insurance CO. should DROP coverage of all his properties

Every one of them!

[Baitball Blogger]

25. Some insurance policies exclude damage from war.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. He doesn't actually own most of the hotels any more; he just licenses his name.

I should think the owners of the properties would want to ditch that name ASAP (some already have, just because Trump is about as popular as hemorrhoids these days).

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Can he order U.S. troops to protect his properties?

[moondust]

19. Good question

that some were asking back in 2016-17 when he refused to divest. I don't recall anyone knowing the answer.

Of course the threat could also potentially extend to other "American" properties in general.

[MarcA]

80. Where are all the magat volunteers with their well armed militia?

When GHW Bush was threatened by Middle East Actors and had to return his
flight to Houston, he had armed private security personnel on and all around
his mansion there.

[tanyev]

6. Whoopsie.

I wonder if Don Jr., Eric and Jarvanka will start giving them a wide berth, too.

[usaf-vet]

85. When will the boys be going on there next hunting trip abroad? Will the hunters become the hunted?

[shanti]

7. Isn't it well known

that most of Trump's buildings only have his name on them, and that he doesn't actually own them anymore? He just sells his branding? Well, except for Mar-a-Loco, pretty sure he owns that one. The ones he actually owns are most likely insured up the yin yang.

[brush]

17. Not insured for acts of war.

[pnwmom]

24. Who will want to buy his branding, if one of his branded buildings is attacked?

[smirkymonkey]

114. The brand is all but dead.

His business interests are toast. The threat alone is enough to destroy him, even if nothing ever happens. Any savvy investor knows that there is no place to go but down. They are going to be scrambling to dump their Trump properties before their investments become worthless.

I am loving watching this grifting family finally getting what has been coming to them for a very long time. I hope they end up penniless.

[Zoonart]

8. This could be a "get out of jail free" card.

Get rid of Trump and maybe we don't have to have a war.

[tanyev]

15. Maybe this will be Donny's doorway out.

“After all I’ve sacrificed to be the best and most popular president the United States of America has ever seen, the risk to my family and properties has made it impossible to continue blah, blah, blah...Vlad, can you take us in?”

[Thomas Hurt]

9. this is smart, attack Donnie's revenue and his pride...

[Raven]

10. This is a big deal. Watch Trump try to get the American

people to pay for security for allhis properties or else do a u turn on his Iran stance.

[LakeArenal]

22. I am sure we have paid security upgrades at all his properties

[Siwsan]

11. There are ways to destroy someone, that involves no actual physical destruction

If this is the plan, I'll be sitting back and

[smirkymonkey]

16. This alone could send him over the edge. Just the threat of an attack at his properties is enough to

do damage to his brand and his bottom line. People are going to start bailing and nobody will want to be anywhere near any property associated with Trump. This could actually be quite enjoyable to watch.

[wryter2000]

29. Agreed

As long as no one is hurt, I’m loving it.

[bdamomma]

49. I think I would

be most eager to see what that bastard is going to do about his properties since he likes to boast about them all the time.

All tRump sees is this $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

smirky

One thing he will have many haters since he likes to win all the time.

[lettucebe]

12. Curious why he never considered he was making himself and his family a huge target?

Oh, wait ... he never considers anything. He's a shoot-from-the-hip sort of guy and he never hits the target.

Let's see how this falls out but if I were in the family I'd be more nervous than I was last week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Trump Tower in Baku Azerbaijin is in the range of Iran's missiles

[amuse bouche]

14. Dear prospective trump property customers

For your own safety, go somewhere else

Your Welcome

[OliverQ]

18. I seriously doubt they're actually going to attack his properties.

But it might create some bad PR. Wonder if people will abandon his properties knowing they may be a target.

[brush]

66. Why wouldn't they? It would be no mistaking the message sent.

[OliverQ]

69. Because he'll probably nuke Tehran if they do.

[brush]

71. You actually think the joint chiefs would go along with that?

I don't.

[OliverQ]

108. Yes. They can't stop him and nobody has stood up to him yet.

[brush]

110. They can refuse. And I believe their sensible heads won't unleash...

nuclear hell upon the world. They of course will also have to resign.

[safeinOhio]

21. $80 million?

Melania is scratching her head and thinking.

[MontanaMama]

27. Oh yes!

Will Melanie be able to Be Best? Time will tell.

[keithbvadu2]

57. Probably much more than she would get from a divorce.

Probably much more than she would get from a divorce.

[smirkymonkey]

115. This could be her ticket to freedom.

Forget the pesky prenup!

[Baitball Blogger]

23. If you really want to hurt Trump, expose his tax records.

[wryter2000]

31. Iran, if you're listening..

[bdamomma]

50. nt

yes indeed.

[TryLogic]

73. "Iran, if you're listening.."

I love it.

[Desert grandma]

107. Exactly.

I understand they have the cyber capability to do that too. That would be interesting.

[duforsure]

30. mar gag o

Is in a very venerable place too. I think their property values with spiral downward quickly.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. I wouldn't call it venerable. Vulnerable, maybe.

[forkol]

83. How about venereal...

After all, he did say it was his personal (vietnam) war.

[modrepub]

32. And I Bet We (Taxpayers) Will Be On The Hook To Protect

Trump's properties and family for quite a long period of time

[Grasswire2]

33. Ruining him financially would render him powerless.

I'd like to see a live show of people exiting his properties...running like crazy.

[empedocles]

40. Exposing traitortrump financially would render him powerless

[Mr.Bill]

37. Trump properties?

So no targets of any cultural significance, then.

[bucolic_frolic]

38. Border walls around all Trump's properties

to protect Trump when he's golfing or staying there, all at taxpayer expense. How's that sound?

[keithbvadu2]

58. With no exit door or gate.

[lark]

39. OMG! I wonder if his staff even let him see this.

Sure Faux won't cover it as the rw warmongers lie of the day is killing the General was no big deal & Iran won't retaliate - because that's what Pompeo and Impotus3 are saying. Of course it's all total lies, this has nothing to do with helping our country and 100% to be with orange assmouth trying to keep his power and steal even more power so there is no stopping his destruction of our country in favor of Russia & himself.

[Historic NY]

42. Well at least they aren't "cultural sites"

[bdamomma]

44. Iran is one country

that I would NOT fool around with. tRump is going to learn the hard way.

For tRump to say he would target cultural sites would be what ISIS would do. We have a terrorist in in the WH.

[louis-t]

45. My guess is that as things escalate

donnie the coward will retreat into hiding. He will not be seen on any golf course. There is a contract out on him, after all.

[bdamomma]

53. he does seem to back down

from chaos he causes. I hope this happens. We don't need no stinking war.

[TruckFump]

46. Gads, can you imagine the faux insurance claims MF45 will make on this stuff?

Might make all of his prior fraudulent claims look small.

[Bradical79]

47. Even if I were a rich asshole...

I'd have been staying away from Trump properties from the moment he won the election. They're just big soft targets for anyone that hates him.

[RandySF]

51. That's one way to get rid of the bedbugs

[Iliyah]

56. LOL . . .

Apparently, Iran is doing psychological warfare . . .

t-rump, family and cronies probably feel scared, and they have always been insecure.

[irisblue]

54. Cyber Attack on his properties computer systems would f up alot

Stuxnet, 2010.

I have a hard time imagining the companies under his/his families names have state of the art computer services & training, not gold encrusted, not visible, just the beating heart of his money machines.

[George II]

61. Hopefully this will result in a mass exodus from his hotels.

[machoneman]

65. Oh, it will! He'll regret this until the day he......well, you know!

[Sugar Smack]

67. All sensible people will stay far away from them.

[marble falls]

64. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. This should get his attention ...

and will the public stand for US military to be killed defending a Trump property?

[vsrazdem]

70. I knew this was coming, so smart people will stay away from his properties.

[BigmanPigman]

72. Thank you Iran for aiming your fire at tRump and not US citizens!

tRump started this mess so he deserves to be the recipient of any retaliation, fair is fair.

[onlyadream]

75. The top official, Hasameddin Ashena , said they have ZERO problems with the American people.

It's all Trump.
This is actually really good news. They KNOW that he's the problem and this gives me hope.


https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10681400/iran-tweets-list-of-trumps-properties-revenge-attacks-us-president/

[mtngirl47]

93. You're right--really good news to know Iranians don't hate the American people,

Just Trump.

[Doodley]

76. If Trump properties were attacked, I have no doubt somebody as deranged as him would use nukes.

[bullwinkle428]

79. WHO SAW THIS COMING? Other than everybody at DU, I mean!

[Fla Dem]

81. Not surprised. First thing I thought when Iran mentioned retaliation. Trump Properties.

And the US government should not pay one cent to protect them especially Trump properties in foreign countries. Maybe Trump Tower in NY and Mar a-Largo because those are his residences, although he did move his official residence from NY to Fl. But he can pay for his own security forces to provide protection in any property that has the Trump name on it. The Trumpy kids should also watch their backs.

My second thought; there's no way I would stay in a Trump property, but now more than ever, They're right in the crosshairs. Guess he didn't think out all the consequences when he arbitrarily order the assassination of Soleimani.

[avebury]

86. It would be funny if the Iranians found

a way to infest his hotel properties with bed bugs.

[Maeve]

105. How could you tell?

[avebury]

111. I imagine that if the DC hotel

an an outbreak of bed bugs it might get out.

[Maeve]

112. Given the record of his hotel maintenence...

it would be hard to tell if it were accidental or accidentally on purpose!

[tclambert]

87. The threat alone should be enough to cause a mass exodus from Trump properties.

If Iran plays it smart, they just keep threatening and make Trump's properties bleed money. That's the only kind of blood he cares about--his money. If Iran actually retaliates, it takes away the immense value of the threat and gives Trump an excuse for more violence.

Iran should just keep talking about Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower and let the fear do all their work.

[avebury]

89. Any insurance company could

argue that Trump has contributory negligence should there be any attacks on any Trump properties. Plus I agree that acts of war are most not likely covered on insurance policies.

[TheCowsCameHome]

90. That should be great for business.

Good going, dumfuk.

[ramen]

91. has anyone seen a better source for this?

daily mail can be pretty sketchy

[fwvinson]

92. When the POTUS doesn't divest in his properties

he/she can be blackmailed.

[patphil]

95. I'm not advocating attacking Trump properties, but even the threat of an attack

is going to drastically reduce the number of people who will go there for golf, food, lodging, etc.
It will also greatly reduce the possibility of new Trump property development.
This could cost Trump millions over the next year or two.

[lame54]

97. An attack in the U.S. will backfire on them

[Traildogbob]

101. Dissapointed

I am just extremely disappointed the bounty is only for his head. Please take the whole toxic blob. MAGA!

[safeinOhio]

102. Confucius-

“Before You Embark On A Journey Of Revenge, Dig Two Graves” —

[Maeve]

103. There are many reasons for politicians to divest

This is one of them

[Sogo]

104. They've put out a list of properties, but is there an implied goal that he be IN whatever property

...is hit?


I'm guessing someone's not going to be sleeping very well at any of his many homes.....

[Initech]

113. Chump crossed a line that should not have been crossed.

This is not going to end well.
