Trump is being crucified and turned into a caricature, and his private businesses are not only being attacked, but become designated targets for half the country. If you're good, then you better not even do business with the bastard! /sarc

Politics is beginning to dominate our lives. It's not enough to vote the correct way, but you must also denounce the Opponent as evil, and then - It being evil - ostracize and destroy It.

This has always been the case on the fringes, of course, but it is now rapidly consuming the center of the left. This is a malignant development.

To be fair though, if he was serious about running for office than he should give up control of his businesses. Not doing so just opens him up to massive conflict of interest issues and makes him look like he's entering politics to promote his brand. You can't be surprised when people refuse to buy your products (which have your own name plastered all over them) when you're going around making controversial statements- right or wrong as they may be.
