Will Donald Trump's Presidential Run Ruin His Image?
Donald Trump is saying some pretty controversal things, even as he campaigns as an undeclared candidate for President of the United States. Do you think Donald Trump will ruin his image as a successful businessman that people revere as he makes controversial statements during the campaign that bring his character into question?
It doesn't matter. Trump has turned himself into a brand name that he licenses to just about anybody for the right number. The more his name is in the news, the more people will pay.
It will be interesting to see if he actually runs - if I am not mistaken should he do so, he will have to step down from having any position or title at his businesses.
So will his egomania prevail (run for president) or greed (keep in control and at the helm of his "licensing" empire)...
Interesting take lime light power. This self promotion strategy might be backfiring on Trump already. Group just announced that they will stop advertising on Trump's Apprentice show because of the controversial statements that Trump is now making. I think this who episode might really hurt Trump's public image.
No. He's still the same old bully he's always been and proud of it, too. Look at how he crowed big time about getting Obama to 'hand over' his birth certificate! The only people who 'revere' Trump are the people he MAKES MONEY FOR!
Trump is not running for president..you just think he is. He is doing what he is doing for a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, he will step away. Just wait and see. WB
It's all about marketing and money, nothing more, nothing less. . .
Trump was a controversial figure before, so it's hard to imagine that he would do or say anything to change how people already view him. I doubt that he will make a serious run for President anyway. This is mostly about self-promotion.
Donald Trump will not run for President. Even he is not that dumb.

Obviously, I have my views, but I leave this as an open-ended question. There is no question he has become a lightening rod and has stirred great controversy in America, and now around the world. Is that good or bad? Does what he is saying from his platform as a serious contender...

I'm sorry, but I cannot abide this man as president. He sounds like a demented 10-year-old. How anyone can believe he is fit is beyond my comprehension. He speaks less eloquently than my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's.I've truly tried to understand the Trump supporter who...

Do you care?This would be the first time in modern American history that a candidate for President hasn't released his tax returns. Is this a big deal or not? If it is a big deal, what do you think Donald Trump is afraid the American people will see?

Even after being indicted, President Donald Trump's poll numbers remain solid. Could be a result of people losing faith in the legal institutions such as the FBI an DOJ? Is it possible the blatant use of them against a political opponent is obvious to more and more people?"Donald...

What will Donald Trump's taxes reveal?It is a sure thing the Special Prosecutor will subpoena Trump's taxes. Will they reveal any monetary ties to the Russians or will they show he isn't as rich as he claims. I realize this is a speculative topic, but I think we'll eventually have the real answers...
