Trump’s latest hot property: his campaign database
The Trump campaign has built a huge data operation — social media, fundraising — that could be deployed in any number of ways after the election. It’s a potential gold mine. Not a hotel, golf course or tower, but something one GOP digital ad maker says is “essentially priceless.” Even if he loses, Trump could use this database to further his political agenda, start a new media company, or he could just rent it out to other Republicans.
