thats basically his business right now that and the tv show are his only successes hes a fraud
companies pay him to let him use their name so idiots will think its a classy and successful trump venture backed by someone who really does have billions of dollars and not just a schmoe who values his "brand" as that and certainly not some other company hoping to fleece them while trump contractually includes a note allowing him to revoke use of his name when the business starts going down the shitter

I don't know if it still has his name, but he used to have a golf course in NJ. I worked there for like 3 weeks in college. Only 8 holes were complete, with the rest to be done in the next two years, and it had a lovely 'bistro', but still he somehow convinced dudes to pay a million a year to join. To play 8 holes and get a $110 French dip sandwich :lol: And the 8 were nonconsecutive, so you had to drive past all kinds of construction equipment and piles of dirt.

Also it was Trump policy that tipping wasn't allowed. That alone might be worth a million a year to rich cunts :allears:

He conned a bunch of southern California schmucks into buying some crappy condos in Baja. He slapped his name all over everything and endorsed the hell out of it then pulled out once it went down the crapper and said that he just licensed his name and it was the developers who hosed it up so stop trying to blame him.

I know it's just reality TV, but man did a lot of crap companies and businessmen go onto The Apprentice to drum up publicity. Oh look, Kodak needs help convincing people that it's still the 90s. Wow, a company that still tries to sell video phones in the year 2009 when Skype exists where do I buy. Hey, it's one of the Maloof brothers who lost a bunch of money despite owning a casino and liquor distribution business! And he's here to judge things!

Same way any business fails, even if the individual transactions are profitable if there's not enough of them you're not going to make up the money you spend on rent/staff/general upkeep. Trump seems really obsessed with being high end so my guess is what income they did have was handled really badly and wasted on stuff like giving everything a gold trim.

My favorite part though is how the article is written like it's the unions fault for not just accepting concessions every year because millionaire owners can't run a functioning business.

Competition from casinos more local than your casino. AC was the second location (1st was Vegas) in the US to have a casino in the late 70s. Indian casinos started opening up in the 80s. Local casinos started opening up in the early 2000s to now. There's two casinos outside of NYC the same distance as AC. There's casinos in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Delaware, and almost any major metropolitan area on the East Coast. Why go to Atlantic City's casinos now?
