IIRC Trump no longer had any connection to that Casino.
Private businesses, owned by private citizens, are subject to market realities and must cover their costs to remain viable—Unlike the government which can print money and issue unsecured debt.
So Trump can make people gamble. It appears that they overbuilt.
Well I guess its probably time for this site to begin its MAD it goes through in the Presidential Primaries...may as well get it out of the way now.
Reagan was once a Dem, pro-choice, and married a few times...
Does this somehow mean the issues Donald Trump brings up, such as illegal immigration, should not be discussed?
Or are you just looking for an excuse to shoot the messenger?
Old news. All the casino was using was his name.
So, I guess that disquals him from running then. Case closed. LOL! I’m kinda enjoying watching the gopE squirm. Still, most of them won’t address the subjects that are on fly-over staters minds. Cowards.
Here’s something to ponder...he dumps things that don’t make money and invests in things that do. (And has accumulated 10 billion dollars, a success!) Wait till you see what he does with food stamps and general welfare. Lazy people are going to either get off their butts and be productive or starve!
Originally, Atlantic City was to be the "East Coast" Las Vegas, for gamblers who did not want to travel across the country or wanted to do a weekend trip local. Had Atlantic City been able to maintain a monopoly on East Coast gaming, they would have survived.
Casino gambling does not have the stigma it used to have. It's quite a mainstream thing now. Also, the demographics have changed radically. I remember years ago, the casinos were classier places, where you felt out of place without a sports jacket. Now you got people waddling around with fanny packs, ball caps and discount store clothing. You might as well be at the mall.
For me, the casino is like an adult Disneyland. Especially in Vegas. When my kids were young, I would easily drop a few thousand dollars to take them to Disneyland, only to stand in long lines half the day in the hot sun and be surrounded by thousands of fussing and misbehaving kids.
Now that the kids are grown up, I take that money and go Las Vegas and have a much better time.
He’s only been divorced and married one more time than Reagan.
Nice try, Daily News! Trump divested his holdings in Joisey long ago. Aa an astute businessman he saw this situation developing away down the road. The surrounding states’ all getting into state-run gaming knocked the props from under Atlantic City. Trump saw it coming.
I look at these threads the same as I have always looked at the Global Warming predictions; their demise is all but inevitable.
I only have to wait them out, the truth will prevail.
I’ve got zero problem with gambling. You should have the freedom to do so if you are an adult. Talk about Nanny State interference by not letting people even play poker online.
Safe to say my problems with Trump do NOT include gambling.
Bankruptcy is a business tool. A smart business owner knows when to use it.
Idiot article.
And now it will close after Labor Day.
