The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

Trump may never have declared personal bankruptcy, but most of his projects have been bankrupt or in serious default.

Thank God it was only Trump.

When you think of casinos, visions of bright lights, ringing slots, and stacks of chips likely come to mind. These gambling palaces are meant to exemplify luxury, indulgence, and beating the odds. However, even some of the most famous and grandest casinos have faced the brutal reality of bankruptcy and closure.

From the iconic Sands in Atlantic City to the ill-fated Revel Casino Hotel, we'll take a look at 14 of the biggest casino operations that ultimately went bust. The troubled histories of places like Trump's Atlantic City casinos and the legendary Riviera in Las Vegas provide fascinating case studies of how easily even billion-dollar gaming empires can collapse.

berg80, looking for a silver lining here, I'm going to give Trump some credit. He continues to be an absolutely incredible and effective history/sociology teacher. He's showing us how major structural and societal change can happen, with the general approval of a populace.

He's been taking us back to 30's Europe with his aggressive one-man authoritarian power grab, and now he's taking us back to America's Gilded Age with his gold-plated celebration of fabulous wealth as his populace struggles to buy food and pay for housing.

And all along, he has regular Americans supporting him with an intensity this country has never seen.

Now we know what this looks like. This is not a history lesson I wanted to learn first hand, but holy crap, it's one hell of a history lesson.

Have you noticed Steve Bannon is beating the bushes over the idea the 22nd A can be worked around so the orange piece of shit can illegally be installed for another term?

Stevo is an anarchist so I expect him to say bizarre things only I think this is meant to soften the ground for an inevitable attempt to allow trump to celebrate his third term in his brand new ballroom. Naturally, with the endorsement of congressional Repubs.

 

[Delldude]

That's going to upset a few here that worship Rachel Maddow......to find out her boss helped fund 'The Ballroom from Hell'.

Comcast is.

As are many other tech and internet companies.

They all pledged to pony up baksheesh to the king.

That's the "No Kings" spin. The truth is, they want to be associated with this

 

[Etymology gaslight]

Trump's boondoggle ballroom is going to be 90,000 square feet.

When you watch the Super Bowl, that's 57,000 square feet. Imagine a venue half again as large.

A 90,000 square foot venue can seat 5,000 dinner guests. If you are throwing a cocktail party, then you can accommodate 9,000 guests.

So...where are they all going to park?

Does Trump intend to pave the National Mall into a parking lot?

As in all things under the sun, Trump knows more about parking lots than anybody. Just ask the elderly widow who he tried to kick out of her home of 30 years so he could put in a parking lot for one of his hotels. He even tried to claim eminent domain! For a parking lot!

He lost.

Widows, cancer kids, pensioners, insurance companies, banks, investors. These are all just grist for Trump's machinations.

And now Trump has eminent domain out the wazoo. Woo-hoo!

If no parking lot, then there will be a massive traffic jam caused by 9,000 people arriving by Ubers at the same time!

Then the line to get in the door will be hours long! Just like one of his rallies!

Trump really has not thought this through.

Or has he???

.

He has vision & experience, finishes things.

The mall is part of the parks system.

Well you did completely neutralize his first term. You kinda owe it to him now

Explain. You made the comparison.

Lincoln was never in any business other than law. He also did not preside over grandiose monuments to his vanity.

So, I don’t see your point at all. Nor is I my duty to prove your claims.

It's your duty to educate yourself before speaking

More likely they don't want to be the target of Dotard's vindictive ire.

IRONY ALERT!

Trump’s vision is limited to hotels.

He has grandiose fantasies.

)His long history of overspending, sloppy and corrupt project management and default prove he never lears from experience.

He was a Democrat back then.....good point.

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh the humanities.....

I'm not sure if this person is for real or not but I'm pretty sure that the liberals really believe this madness.

They've shifted to the war on Ball Rooms.

Their pants too tight or something?

 

[TimFitz]

Trump’s history of fraud and mismanagement have nothing to do with his political affiliations.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

More likely they don't want to be the target of Dotard's vindictive ire.

So how much are you paying up to keep king Donald from targeting you?

 

[Delldude]

That's how your party rolls..... and He was a dem at the time......

14 Biggest Casinos That Went Bankrupt

Interesting article.

You overlooked the fact that many of the Vegas Casinos operated for decades before they fell on hard times, and made lots of money.

You also danced past most of the Trump casinos, which were in business for a far shorter period of time.

You also overlook the fact that Trump was warned and criticized for his Atlantic City projects because he flooded the market with overbuilding, which brought everyone down.

You also overlook the fact that Pennsylvania eventually allowed casino gambling, which took the suburban Philadelphia customers away.

ND, YOU OVERLOOK trump;s long history of default on his construction loans (aeven before they were in operation), his history of stiffing lawyers and contractors and his penchant for making reckless and expensive changes on whims.

And you overlooked his long history of surrounding himself with yes men.

Bullshit, Trump wants tax payers to pay it, by him writing a government check to himself and then "donating" it:

President Donald Trump may be planning to sue his own Department of Justice, according to new reporting from The New York Times
