It will destroy their business.

Yet on the other hand, the banks love Trump. In the event Trump goes bankrupt again, they banks will just loan him hundreds of millions of dollars again like they have in the past. The banks don't care because it's not their money they stand to lose, and they make money no matter what. It's the banking industry and the housing market and the recession all over again; The banks make money no matter what happens.

What might happen here is the worse thing that can happen to Trump - damage to his name. Trump's tries to portray his brand name was "classy" and "style" and "rich" and I see it as tacky and gaudy - always have. Trump is a seventy year old man and he is just plain tacky to me.
While I agree with you about the banks making money out of him. Thay won't if he gets sued more often. Punishing him for stepping out of line. Is to deter others from doing the same.

As for tacky, never seen him as anything else.
