Am I the only one who thinks that Donald Trump has irreparably damaged his “brand”?
If you had asked me what I thought of Donald Trump before 2008, I would have said he was brassy and tacky, but kind of fun in a way that fits with our celebrity-obsessed media culture. I wouldn’t have patronized any of his ventures (not being into gambling) but I wouldn’t have actively avoided them either.
But since his craziness about Obama’s birth certificate, and even more so since this election cycle, he has careened into a dirty, dirty ditch, and I don’t think people will forget.
Let’s see if he can run his businesses with only his rabid, fascism-hugging supporters for customers. That's about 25 percent of the 25 percent of people who are registered Republicans (6 percent). As Nate Silver points out, that’s the same percent of the population that thinks the moon landing was faked, by the way.

Bad for the Brand, Which Was Already Bad Enough

What's been interesting about Trump's implosion is how he's revealed so much about himself without really realizing it. He's clearly not qualified to be president in any time but especially now when calm, clear thinking is necessary and an openness to thinking outside of the box. I've never had much respect for Trump. That hasn't changed.
