I know this won't really affect "The Donald," but I'm glad to see people willing to get out of business with him after his remarks.
I'm surprised people are still doing business with him, hes a despicable human being with an ugly soul. These elections have already started to reveal more of the ugliness inside him, if he keeps going I'm sure there will be a lot more business lost.
I feel bad saying that I hope he loses business. Not because I would feel bad for him, but I would feel bad for employees who lose their jobs because of him (if it ever came to that).
For someone who touts his business acumen as justification for election to high office, "the Donald" seems to have a knack for driving business away.
And he made these particular remarks in order to rile up the base of voters who won't vote him in to office, anyway. Sounds like a terrible strategy to me. I'm just glad it's his.
I think he's operating on the assumption that there's no such thing as bad press. I suppose there's a good reason why four of his five business ventures entered bankruptcy.
Politics and Business go hand in hand, except for the good press vs bad press part.
This is why I support a new amendment to the US Constitution creating a wall of separation between business and state.
