The problem is that the rich always have end-arounds, short-selling strategies, and even brand-dilution contingencies that guarantee their image will be maintained. I'd much rather attack Trump head-on on his racist, oppressionist policies at the ballot box and by the judiciary, as well as the state governments.

Now, she's not saying we should do this en-masse, but how disruptive and chaotic to tRump's properties would that be and what influence would it have on this non-divested pResident if that were to happen?

Interesting.
