Trump and his minions think this is over? Hmmm. I doubt it.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-properties-could-become-iranian-targets-190912364.html
Theres a unique set of targets Iran is likely eyeing as it contemplates retaliation for the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general in Iraq on Jan. 2: Trump Organization properties in 11 countries outside the United States.
President Trumps real-estate company owns or manages buildings bearing the Trump name in Canada, Dubai, India, Indonesia, Ireland, the Philippines, Scotland, South Korea, St. Martin, Turkey and Uruguay. Those properties are all listed on the companys website.
[Iran] will look for the most opportune chance to strike back in a way that hurts President Trump personally, Iran scholar Suzanne Maloney of the Brookings Institution said on a recent Lawfare podcast. I will assume security around any Trump property is enhanced.
On Jan. 5, an Iranian official who advises the countrys president hinted that Iran is, in fact, tracking Trump properties. Hesameddin Ashena, who runs the Iranian presidents research outfit, posted a tweet, without comment, linking to a Forbes web page on Trumps personal wealth that lists 19 Trump properties, mostly in the United States. The Trump Organization owns those properties. Most of the firms international properties are owned by others, with the Trump Organization branding and managing them.
We have ZERO problems with the American people, Ashena wrote, in English, in a separate tweet. Our sole problem is Trump. In the event of war, it is he who will bear full responsibility.

their courage. They are such brave souls. That warning will
protect Trump financially, won't it?

(16,254 posts)Say the Iranians damage his building(s) in some way or blow them up with a car bomb, etc., will his insurance cover since it is an act of war or terrorism?
Truth be known, any Iranian act will probably be due to Trump's mouth and awful rhetoric he says/tweets. I suppose insurance companies haven't considered being mouthy as a cause that would be uninsurable/non-collectible. Just sayin'.

are at risk. I hear many of his buildings are already in straits
financially.

(16,254 posts)Next to himself, his towers have to be extremely important. Is the one in Dubai his own or just his name on a tower? Not familiar with that one.
I wonder how many properties are collateral for his loan from Deutsche Bank? Didn't Russia/Russians back the loan(s)?
Iran would aid us all if Trump's "wealth" -- whatever that might be -- was suddenly erased and he lived out the rest of his life in poverty. At least he'd have a low-rent apartment available from the Kushner family...maybe.

I have been praying they would hit Mar-A-Lago hard, so that no credit card payments would go through, no reservations would be registered, no supplies could be ordered, no telephone/computer services would be operative--the full Monty.
They need to hit what he loves most--not his wife or children, but his pocketbook

In the fall of 2013, Adelson made comments that angered Iran. The casino tycoon suggested that the US could send an immediate message in response to the Islamic Republics nuclear ambitions.
The billionaire opined the US should go out in the desert and detonate some sort of massive explosive weapon that doesnt hurt a soul.
....
Roughly four months after Adelson angered the ayatollah in 2013, Las Vegas Sandss computer network was the victim of a cyber-attack. Customer data, including credit card information, Social Security numbers, and drivers licenses were all compromised.

(13 posts)Keep in mind that I'm NOT suggesting that the Iranians do these things, but they MIGHT:
- Hack his emails and release them to news outlets.
- Pillage his financial accounts.
- Hack the IRS and publish his tax returns.
- Bring down Fox News.
Mind you, I'm not suggesting that they do this, but they might.
