    Think of it like a three year ban from the NFL. In theory it’s not permanent, but in practice it is.

      Is it? I mean I’d prefer it if Trump didn’t live to 80, but Rupert Murdoch is 92 and still clinging on to power.

          I would be very surprised if they didn’t have some sort of contingency plan set up for this since they knew it was a possibility.

            The contingency is getting his Daughter-in-law appointed head of the RNC. She’s already she’d give all RNC funds to trump.

              In that case, good. It drains their war chest. But I’m not convinced it will happen.

            Sure, but it’s still a problem. Trump could abandon New York, but re-entering the NY market after three years would be like starting over. Probably not worth it.

            Or he could turn over control to someone like Ivanka. But for it to survive, she will have to put in her own people and make new contacts of her own. After three years it will effectively be her company, nobody involved will want to see Donald return.
