The Trump family is most likely wishing they could turn the clock back to the day before Trump came down that escalator.
This whole "president" thing is unraveling so fast you can barely catch your breath. It is going to end up ruining the whole family.
And it is the culture of corruption in that family that will be their own undoing.

They're not reading DU. They're not watching MSNBC. They're not seeing the postings on FB slamming Trump and all around him.
They have no idea what most people actually think of him. Or them.

(4,676 posts)Nobody wanted to go to his hotels except deplorables who couldn't afford to, owners at his properties wanted the Trump name removed, his brand had taken a massive hit.
