DT Owned Businesses

We think one of the best ways to get Donald Trump’s attention is by having the revenue from his businesses decrease, so a key part of the Vis Dis ™ campaign is to not patronize DT’s businesses. We’ve created a Google Map that shows all DT-owned golf courses, hotels, and restaurants around the world. There are quite a few to say the least, with many in New York. Most of them have “Trump” in their name, making them easy to identify and avoid. Discover Trump Businesses by clicking here or on the map below

2. Russia’s U.S. Election Interference: The handling of Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election has haunted Trump’s presidency even before he took the oath of office in January 2017. Read more
3. Mistreatment of Women: DT ’s treatment of women and his sexual morals are very upsetting, as are DT’s many misrepresentations related to certain “hush money” payments. We chronicle some key events. Discover the details
4. Misleading Statements in the 1000’s: The Washington Post maintains a count of DT’s false or misleading statements from the date of his inauguration. Through December 30, 2018, the count was 7,645, an average of over 10 a day. Check it out

Refusing Invites Gracefully

The DT ‘Vis Dis’ pledge includes not being seen at a Trump business. It’s often difficult to know what words to use when declining to attend a celebration or business meeting, so we’ve provided below several examples for you. Use them as a starting point for your regret text, email, or letter. Learn to refuse gracefully
