One of these days he might actually become solvent.

"Trump, the developer who flaunts his brusque business style on "The Apprentice" reality television show, last month clinched a restructuring pact with bondholders that would cut his stake in the company but preserved his role as chairman and chief executive."

I cannot help but believe that Trump is performing a sophisticated financial maneuver that will make him even richer at the expense of someone else.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Donald Trump's father was the real business genius who built a real estate empire from scratch.

Donald Trump himself is a walking example of how not to do business. He is a joke - no one has ever lost more money in Atlantic City than Trump.

And after seeing the Borgata, who would want to stay in one of his dumps, anyway?

This really gals me.

This jerk thinks bankruptcy is a great way of life, and
he is the toast of the town.
Poor guys like me are treated like scum if we miss a few monthly payments on a mastercard.

Donald Trump is just a marketer. That is all he has ever been and that is all he ever will be. His product is himself. He is not a businessman and I tend to laugh when he is called one. His skill is in creating glamor and intrigue around his own name. I suppose that is his greatest asset.

I suppose it takes quite a bit of talent to create an image like his... I'm not sure most can (or would be willing to). But he definitely is not a great businessman.

No sympathy here. Trump is getting exactly what he needs and wants: a permanent respite from creditors, restructuring and the use of OPM (other peoples' monies) while he rebuilds.

He's a charlatan and a lowlife scumbag. He's got to be a liberal-demokkkRAT, since he never takes responsibility for anything. It's always someone else's fault.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Donald Trump's casino operations filed for bankruptcy Sunday in a long-expected move that would allow the real estate maverick to restructure the company's debt and overhaul its aging casinos.



Another business man(group) who abuses/takes advantage of bankruptcy procedures(loop holes) in order to stash the loot(?) Sure seems to do it enough.

If you borrow $100,000 the bank owns you. If you borrow $1 billion, you own the bank.
