Is that one of the Trump casinos that went belly up? How did that help the community? I guess him being able to stiff his creditors and local businesses was a good thing also. There’s only one issue here, did the lady want to sell the house at a price Trump was willing to pay or not. It should not be the governments business to kick people out of their house because some big company wants to make more profit.

NO ONE KICKED HER OUT!!!

And it doesn’t make any difference if the casino went belly up. If fear of failure keeps people from building we’re screwed.

Do you realize you sound just like the msn and GOPe? You blindly attack from all angles. Does it concern you that you sound like them?

Yes. Like much of Atlantic City the Trump casino entered into bankruptcy. He had divested a majority of his Atlantic City holdings in the mid aughts and allowed the holding company to retain the name with him as a minority owner.

Atlantic City casinos are now almost all bankrupt. They can no longer compete in a saturated gambling market that has seen casinos on both Indian land and city owned properties throughout the Eastern Seaboard.

As for the benefit to the City of Atlantic City. He provided thousands of jobs and hundreds of million of dollars in taxes to the City and County of Atlantic City for the decades he had presence in the town.

Are we now supposed to dishonor the work of Carnegie or Rockefeller because many of their steel plants or oil refineries are no longer in operation?

Here is the house Trump offered TWO MILLION for. You also have to realize that she wouldn't sell to Penthouse that did that construction AND she was suing because the aborted construction was decreasing her house value!

AND she was suing to stop Trump from demolishing her eyesore because she said it wasn't safe to take the construction down!
