In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    Trump bankrupted a Casino, a business that by its very nature should be virtually impossible to sink.

    Casinos have an initial cost to open, they have some costs to run, but their chief interest is People who have a problem where they give away too much of their money to try to win big, give you all their money, occasionally you have to give a fraction back so it feels less as if the house always wins.

      He did it by building another one just down the road from the first one. He didn’t pay the people who built it driving many of them into bankruptcy. You only have to look at what he has done to know he is the worst possible person to make a legal buck.

        Crazy that he gets away with the number of people he’s just, straight up declined to pay.

        You’d think after some point either

        1. People stop working with him
        2. The people he ripped off track him down to murder his ass

        But that never happened, somehow.

          Refusing to pay is actually a pretty common trait amongst the extreme narcissistic billionaires.

          I just watch that 4 part documentary on Pdiddy and he also refused to pay anyone. He didn’t even pay when he had 2Pac killed!

          I know a guy who sold a car and the check bounced. The next morning he was up and on the road. He walked in the guys business and beat the guy down. Then he told him if he didn’t have his money he was going to kill him. The guy talked him out of killing him and called his wife. He had her bring the money. Somehow he never heard a word about it from the cops. I really think he had the guy convinced he was going to kill him. I don’t think he would but I wouldn’t call his bluff if he came at me. Kinda crazy eyes when he gets excited.
