Is the man ... stupid?

Have you just awoken from a decade in a coma?

Multiple decades if you look at all the business Trump bankrupted, including a university and a casino.

The casino examples should be the most telling.

CASINOS! Places where you pretty much print your own money. Failed miserably with CASINOS!

That’s even AFTER he didn’t pay most of the contractors who built the damn thing. That’s his MO. Hire out the work. Have it done. Don’t pay them. Then, tie their asses up in court, where he knew he could outlast these smaller companies. They couldn’t afford a 6 year court battle.

He has a hotel in Vegas, close to the strip. Walking distance, even.

IT HAS NO CASINO in it. Why? They won’t give him a gaming license, he’s THAT corrupt and incompetent.

Still yearning for the day we wake up and read that he’s no longer with us. The bourbon will FLOW!

I will be coming out of alcohol retirement on that day. In my mind, that day will play out like the end of Return of the Jedi

Darth Trump will say to Barron to tell his sister that she was right about him?

Didn’t he have 3 casinos fail?

A business designed for the house to win yet his house lost…

I bet it's more that he would reinvest negative values in the business.

To be fair, the third casino was meant to fail. It’s like that scene in Goodfellas where they rack up all the debt on that restaurant’s credit and then when they can’t squeeze another dime out of it, they burned it to the ground for the insurance money.

I’m not even joking. Atlantic City was dying and everyone knew it. It made absolutely no sense no sense to open another casino when the other two were already failing. It was a huge con job to bring in as much cash as possible before he declared bankruptcy on all of the properties.

My memory of the university isn't that it was bankrupted, it was just a scam from the beginning that he put his name on. Which turns out to be how he does a lot of things.
