Trump ran his casino empire like he ran our government, driving our nation's finances closer to bankruptcy.



The New York Times even did a piece on the Taj Mahal casino that Trump opened in 1990 and he pulled the same grift as the owner that he now pulls on his supporters.

But a close examination of regulatory reviews, court records and security filings by The New York Times leaves little doubt that Mr. Trump’s casino business was a protracted failure. Though he now says his casinos were overtaken by the same tidal wave that eventually slammed this seaside city’s gambling industry, in reality he was failing in Atlantic City long before Atlantic City itself was failing.

But even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.

Just how did he "grift" his supporters? I gave Trump nothing but my vote. So are you saying that if someone votes for the candidate of their choice, they're being taken advantage of? If that's true, why even vote?

Personally, I never felt cheated by Trump. Even though he didn't get the support of Congress to accomplish everything he wanted, he did deliver far more than he promised. Like energy dominance, the defeat of al Qaeda, the historic moving of the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and walking across the DMZ to meet with the North Korean leader, which resulted in the return of hundreds of remains of American soldiers killed during the Korean War.

He also brokered a Middle East peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, pulled us out the the disastrous Paris Climate Accord and Iran Nuclear deal, he reworked NAFTA into the USMCA, his tariffs against China brought in $80 billion in 2019 alone, and the Trump tax cuts are still in effect, even under Biden.

Now you're free to vote for whomever you want to. But if you think your hatred of Trump is going to sway my opinion of him, you're barking up the wrong tree, doggy.

Hard times in Atlantic City, the Gulf War, a recession caused many to suffer, including Trump and investors. I'd say Trump did pretty well considering the economic times.

Cultists don't care about that.

How stupid do you have to be to lose money in the casino business?

Tell us Chris. Why don't you list all the casinos that made big bucks in Atlantic City in the 90s?

It should be easy, right? Must have been all the rest of them, right?
 
Yeah, he's not guilty unless proven guilty. A slice and dice indictment is meaningless.
Legally yes. And that hasn't happened yet in the Stormy Daniels payoff case.
But everyone knows he is. He can't bullshit his way outa this one.
