Say GOOD-BYE to any business deals in the Middle East, Donnie!

A thought has just occurred to me that with this WAR, any plans to erect(pun intended) TRUMP Towers and Casino resorts in Gaza or anywhere in the Middle East, have just been dashed.

What say you?

Many of the countries there wanted Iran taken out, even if they just give lip service otherwise. What the populations of those countries think as opposed to their leaders may be another story.

For supporting a US military or Diplomatic presence there. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, etc.

Donald Trump underestimated the reach Iran has in the region as well as around the world. He did not take that into account from what I am reading via the AP, Reuters, NPR, etc.

going to make any difference at all. If anything, things will get far better in the region once the smoke clears.
As far as Trump's personal profitability goes, I would expect that may take a hit once he leaves office, but who knows what kind of deals he's cutting behind the scenes right now.
