#ETTD, Everything Trump Touches Dies, including – now, businesses in his own building. Simply put, no one wants to shop at Trump Tower, or precious few. And the ones that wouldn’t mind, do not often find themselves in midtown Manhattan looking for $500 pairs of shoes.

The people that do shop for such items (and there are not many of those, either) won’t touch a Trump property. The vast majority want no association with Trump. Consider the percentages of celebrities that are “MAGAs” versus the rest and one will get some idea as to the percentage breakdown among the wealthy who will be associated with Trump.

The Washington Post reports that all of this has led to an issue in Trump Tower, everyone is losing money, including, eventually, Trump himself if they cannot pay. Hat tip to our friends at Rawstory:

The Washington Post reported Friday that Trump Tower tenants who are behind on rent include Marc Fisher Footwear, the manufacturer of Ivanka Trump’s shuttered shoe brand, as well as Marcraft, which sold $1,400 Trump-branded suits in the heyday of his “Apprentice” TV show.

“But through all that — as Trump Tower has dealt with imploding tenants, political backlash and a broader, pandemic-related slump in Manhattan office leasing since last year — it has been able to count on one reliable, high-paying tenant: former president Donald Trump’s own political operation,” the Post reported, referring to his Make America Great Again PAC, which has paid nearly $37,000 in rent since March. “This may not be the most efficient use of donors’ money: The person familiar with Trump’s PAC said that its staffers do not regularly use the office space.”

That is a far cry from the guy who said he would pay for his own campaign. Remember that guy? That promise went where most of his promises go, vaporized right out of his mouth. It is legal but…

“He’s running a con,” Common Cause’s Paul Ryan told the Post. “Talking about political expenses — but, in reality, raising money for self-enrichment.

Here is an example as to how bad it’s gotten:

Marc Fisher Footwear, which made Ivanka’s shoes, has racked up $1.5 million in unpaid rent, according to a lawsuit filed by the Trump Organization.
