Trump Plaza Implosion "A great day for Atlantic City"

[cow451]

Yes, sports fans, another symbol of the business empire of EX President Trump is going down. And, the public can watch it live-streamed.

"Trump Plaza opened in 1984. Although Trump cut ties with the casino in 2009, he received a 10% fee for the use of his name on three of the city’s casinos at the time. In 2016, Icahn Enterprises bought the Trump properties out of bankruptcy court. Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort closed in 2016 and reopened as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in 2018."

He hasn’t owned it in over a decade.

He hasn’t owned it in over a decade.

He still owns his name.

Who even wants to stay in Trump properties?

The foreign autocrat customer base is reliable but small.

He hasn’t owned it in over a decade.

It is enough that it still has his name on it. The fact that he does not own the almost 40 year old building being demolished to build a new one is superfluous.

Its sad that 40 years is considered a reasonable life span for a building.

Otoh, Trump Plaza was one of the ugliest buildings Ive ever seen.

Really?

Really?

What? Did he sell that, too?

Does Putin get a nickel every time Donald signs something?

Trump built more casinos than there were gamblers to fill them. He had to declare bankruptcy.

What a perfect metaphor.

HardRock bought a failing casino in an ares were there more Casino's than gamblers? How stupid is that?
