Trump runs for POTUS/ Trumped Up! Part VII

I wonder if the real problem is that Trump's casinos were basically stealing business from each other. AC could only attract so many gamblers, and there just weren't enough to support 12 casinos. So they all lost money.

That was a problem. A bigger problem was that he used junk bonds at like 14% interest.

I think that is exactly the problem. They also faced increasing competition in the 90s from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Casinos can make money hand over fist but there is still a limit to the number of customers. Trump attacked the two casinos as unfair competition and fought to keep them from attracting New Yorkers. The Pequots had built a high speed ferry with the intention of shuttling high rollers from New York. Trump worked with NY politicians to prevent the tribe from getting the permits to bring their ferry into New York so they ended up bringing it to Stamford I think.
 
You look at the performance of his casino business, you add Trump U on top of that and the prospect of this man trying to run the US economy is...:eek:
 
Someone just joked that the most scary thing Trump has said is that he would run the Government just like he ran his businesses.......
 
Today Trump claimed:

Trump said:
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, was quoted in WikiLeaks as saying illegal immigrants could vote as long as they have their driver's license.

And here's the actual Podesta email, per Wikileaks:

Podesta said:
On the picture ID, the one thing I have thought of in that space is that if you show up on Election Day with a drivers license with a picture, attest that you are a citizen, you have a right to vote in Federal elections.

I thought this was a joke when I first read it.

It isn't. He actually said that.

Do you honestly think it wasn't said to be funny? It was followed with
"Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result,"

Obama is destroying Donald and the Republicans in Miami right now.

"You guys made careers out of idolizing Ronald Reagan but say nothing as your nominee has a bromance with former KGB officer Putin."

He is for sure going to claim the election was rigged when he loses.

Every day, Trump gives me one more reason to hate his guts. The man respects nothing. I so much hope this results in a Goldwater/Mondale type of rout.

That would be awesome. I think there is a high probability that he loses worse than the polls indicate.

And Trump was warned about that;many of his advisors said that AC would have a Casino glut by the time Trump's casion opened. Trump would not listen.
 
Some of you are going to hate me for posting this but...

I have a friend, not an especially close friend but I've worked with him (and socialized a few times) over a period of about twenty years. I consider him a very decent guy. He has lived in one of Trump's condo developments in Manhattan for about fifteen years. :blush:.

We ran into one another the other night and got to chatting. He said he was so disappointed in the way Trump has conducted his presidential run. But, like me, he's a native New Yorker who has had large exposure to The Don over the years and knows Trump can be a major league jerk at times.

But he told me the development where he lives (it's not Trump Tower) is the best place he's ever lived in. He says the staff is wonderful, very competent, very responsive. The building is very well-maintained. Not only that, they have a board of directors made up of tenants (condo owners) and Trump attends many of their board meetings. He says Trump has always been cordial, personable and always interested in solving any problem that comes up.

My friend is an accountant, though, and he says the other businesses Trump has gotten involved in have shown him (Trump) to be an absolute idiot. And he emphasized that Trump has the hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to prove it. That Trump's vanity must rise to the level of a mental disorder. My friend said as nice a landlord as Donald Trump has been, he finds the idea of Trump serving as President too horrible to even contemplate.

But he's the best landlord. The best!
