What would Trump do afterwards?

[Archae]

Ok, let's flash forward to January, 2017.

Trump has lost the election, and lost big.

What would he do then?

Faux "news" commentary?

Go bankrupt? (Again?)

Do speeches?

Fade back into the woodwork?

1. struggle to keep his businesses from crashing.

A large part of his income is based on his brand name. He only owns a few buildings. Many others that are using Trump's name do so as part of licensing deals. Kinda like a franchise. His brand is being damaged by his demeanor on the campaign trail.

6. He's really damaged his brand. The rest of his life will be spent recovering from this.

The stunning thing is how badly he's pissing off Republican donors. It's enough to make me wonder about those wacky Clinton-Trump conspiracy theories.

2. I worry more about the day after election day

Also that night when he loses. I can't see him conceding or conceding nicely and saying something coded enough to cover his ass but his followers get the meaning of and go out to commit violence based on it.

14. Maybe.

But I'd be willing to bet Trump will go the Bush route, straight to the courts.

3. Promote himself as "Former Presidential Candidate Donald Trump"

I'm sure his hotels will start having "Presidential Suites" and that his bullshit products will be "Donald Trumps Presidents Ale" or some shit. He wants all of the glory that comes along with being president with none of the responsibility. This is all a long con for boosting his numerous failed businesses.

4. i hope he will just go away.

[Bucky]

5. I genuinely expect there to be pro-Trump violence after he loses, esp. in Florida (because Florida)

The GOP have acted like such clowns since 2013, we forget that these are the same monsters who gave us Florida & Ohio vote suppression tactics. There will be blood this season. Trump will push for it.

And Fox will blame it on the Dems.

And CNN will go along with that narrative.

Expect law suits, recounts, and thinly veiled allusions to 2nd Amendment solutions.

[brettdale]

12. I think this too

Its going to be awful, its going to get violent.

Faux News will be doing their best to blame the big bad minorities.

Going to be gut wrenching.

[Agnosticsherbet]

7. Start another bussiness.

[gwheezie]

8. I hope this ruins him

I hope he has a long slow melt down his fans turn on him and he loses everything.

10. He is one of those zombie corp like critters, just keeps on getting out of bankruptcy.

One failed business at a time.

[Rex]

9. Truth? Turn purple, whip his dick out and piss all over Trump Tower like a rabid dog.

Probably foam at wife and wife-child. Many butlers and sub-nannys will get fired. Trump will lose a grand total of 6 people and the brand will crumble like steaks sold at Sharper Image.

[brettdale]

11. When he loses in a landslide

He will go Faux News and SCREAM Liberal Media. The Liberal media will get the blame from him.

He was also claim the election was rigged and Mexicans voted.

He will ask all his supporters to march into the WH and drag Clinton off to jail.

This election will get ugly and it will get violent in the aftermath.

[Bucky]

17. Lose in a landslide? Don't underestimate Republican's willingness to swallow shit for their side

They'll find a way to make it all work--how many are already out there saying "Sure he's a racist, I'm endorsing him anyway" only in more flowery words? Republicans for Clinton is basically "Vampires for Garlic"

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. Blame others. Twitter out insults. Blame "Mexicans"

[malaise]

15. He will disappear faster than

JebusEnoughFuggingBushes!!

[JHB]

16. Be the subject of "Double Agent Don" theories

That, and phoning in to Joe & Mika from his toilet.
