The joke of the Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino was that Trump still made money on both operations. What ultimately bankrupted the casinos was all the unpaid debts and obligations and liens by contractors.
He'd hire people, refuse to pay them when the work was complete, and take them to court over every little thing. The business was siloed off from Trump's personal holdings, so the only thing anyone could collect on was a building that had liabilities far in excess of revenues (which Trump was embezzling anyway). By the time Taj Mahal was sold off and Plaza Hotel and Casino was demolished, they were underwater several times their book value.
This was a miserable way to run a business. And it wasn't a particularly savvy way to make money long term. But as a Bust Out, it went relatively smoothly. The state officials of New Jersey played along in exchange for handsome contributions to their election funds, the regulators stayed out of Trump's hair(piece), and the Trump family left the market richer than when they started, which is all they really cared about.
The New York Times showed in 2020 that he’s also been using his hundreds of millions of dollars in “debts” to avoid paying taxes for literally decades now as well.
He’s provably a sham from top to bottom and his fans love it.
So, same strats but now the casino is a (increasingly "former") superpower that can make war.
Yeah, that checks out.
What I really don't understand is how destroying the country will benefit these ultra-rich, if like, say, the dollar becomes worthless and the economy stagnates into freefall a la Great Depression.
Do I not understand global economics of the ultra-elite or is there really some Epstein-crypto-island-2.0 where gold bars are the only currency, where they're planning on skittering off to when they've left the rest of the planet a smoldering ruin?
Seriously, they're the greediest most self-serving liars this side of Hell, I don't think "Watch it all burn just for lulz" is the actual endgame and yet they're so ridiculously inept and violent that seems to be the only logical outcome that can be seen miles away and closing fast...
Also the money laundering got a little too sloppy so his russian mob handlers told him to burn it.
Step 1: Tariffs the entire world. Encourage companies to build factories in the country to avoid said tariffs. Step 2: Raid and arrest people sent to build said factories. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit???
You forgot "Tariff the raw materials not available in the US that the factories would need."
funny thing it was a maga candidate of the state that tipped ICE, i think the locals are pissed at the magat for doing this.
If I was one of those workers, the only way I'd set foot on American soil again is on a pilgrimage to piss on Trump's grave.
If you get special tours to do it for all these pos graves you could for sure get the tourism up
Conservatives are so fucking dumb.
Constantly shooting themselves in the dick and then yelling about how its the "radical left"
Or the neck
Nah his neck just kinda did that.
The incompetence is off the charts, it's obvious ICE are just racist goons who act first ask questions never.
"Oh you want me to arrest people different than me? Oh hell yes!"
Yes. The American government is now the galactic empire of Trump, and you get resulting policies and foot soldiers to go with it. It's what ya voted for, enjoy!
They are chasing those bonuses they are promised. The utter distaste I have toward them. I'm just thankful I haven't encountered any of them.

Their lack of intelligence, tact, and humanity are all genuinely breathtaking at times.
And they always manage to sink to ever lower depths of idiocy.
As long as the money continues to flow upwards.
"C'mon baby, it was just one little arrest! It didn't mean anything!"
Hearing this in the South Park Trump Voice.
"Relax, guuuuy!"
South Korean workers, so "exhausted and in shock" that they desperately want to go back to South Korean work culture.
LMAO you've truly outdone yourselves.
I mean, we've seen what ICE does to non-white people with no actual evidence. Christ, I'd want to go back to the evil I know, rather than the evil I don't. I wouldn't want to end up in some random prison in some random country for the crime of having the wrong skin color or ethnicity.
They could be allowed to go back to the U.S. for work later if necessary, the officials said.
Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I'd totally come back to get raided by racist goons a second time. What planet do these fucking idiots come from? I'd pull all investments from America if I was a from a not insane foreign nation.
That's exactly what's happening

I must apologize for the Americans. They are idiots. We have purposely trained them wrong, as a joke.
Chicken go cluck cluck! Cow go moo! Piggie go oink oink! How 'bout you?
Americans: "If you've got an ass, I'LL KICK IT!"
Also, let's not forget that this was all due to a salty, ignorant Trump support running for Georgia office.
So much own goaling here.
Trump probably: "We threatened them over and over, brandished weapons and hid our faces! We treated them like animals. Gave them every opportunity to see how we dominate them, even the ones here legally. Why do they not want to work here!"
The probelm with people like trump is that hes too stupid to know hes stupid and too evil to care about anyone else.
...Isn't that what most of them were doing anyway? They were setting up equipment and training people up?
Yes, but brown people bad
That's not even the right racism!
The chart has spoken.

Abusers do that.
its interesting that 47 would think that its OK to encorage reshoring of manufacturing via stealing training and IP of foreign firms. They are not stupid.
It's about time Hugo Boss starts designing uniforms again I think
imagine all the vehicles made by people in place where the environment is not taken care of with high levels of pollution everywhere that also does not properly fund education and has just made sure that all the properly trained people from some other country that could work/train would not want to work there that could potentially be on United States roads soon
fetal alcohol syndrome is also still a big issue so there is that too
think about the factory close where currently staying that has had multiple fatal accidents this year with one of those involving a forklift having over thousand pounds on it that took a curve too hard and all the load fell on someone with only the head undamaged still talking
where are we heading in the United States? back to no standards like when that chicken plant caught fire in North Carolina
good ol' days had some moments sure but overall they really sucked
And they're real big on putting children to work in those plants again, soon too!
Right after they're done gutting OSHA as "government overreach that limits innovation."
you can thank that maga lady for tipping off ice.
