I figured that no serious real estate developer would have the time, energy and patience to do a silly television show as a side gig.
Trump has built virtually nothing for a decade. Investors and builders do the project, he sells a license to put his name on the tower, and helps with marketing and sales. Rarely is he financially involved. Smart move on his part, and he lost fortunes as a builder and owner. Trump Entertainment Resorts filed their third Chapter 11 bankruptcy, 2009, and the stock was delisted from the exchange. He's a laughable sideshow to the big casino guys, Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, and Adelson.
3rd generation life long NY democrat. Part carnival barker, part thug. Insiders figure he's worth maybe 15% of what he claims, and a lot of that was luck; his Dad was a billionaire who cosigned the early loans (Hyatt). First trump bankruptcy, Daddy walked into casino and bought $3 million in chips to stop the locks being put on the doors. You can't believe one word out of his mouth.
But seeing as what wimps the republicans are, I'm all for his shaming Obama. His ego and mouth will keep him from going anywhere, but he is doing a good thing putting issues on the table and being a distraction. I hope he doesn't run.
Trump is about Trump. If he was serious about anything, he would have been on board the Tea Party Express from day one. Instead, he ignored TP candidates and rallies, and kept touting Obamacare.
