So Trump thinks that wealthy owners screwing everyone else out of money in dodgy deals with morally dubious people is a **bad** thing now? ---

Wait, LIV Golf? Like The New Jersey Generals of The United States Football League? Like Trump University? Like Trump Steaks? Like Trump Taj Mahal? Like Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino? Like Trump’s ‘The Plaza Hotel’ in NYC? Like Trump’s Castle/Trump Marina in AC? Like Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc.? Like Trump’s oh so profitable ‘Riverside South’ plan in NYC? Like Trump Towers Istanbul, whose owner is suing to get Trump’s name off of the building? Like Trump’s Balmedie golf course? Like the ‘Tour de Trump’ failure? Like Trump Model Management, which brought woment from the eastern bloc to the US to work for Trump w/o Visas? Like the ‘Donald J. Trump Foundation’ (a noted charities fraud)? Like carrying forward an almost BILLION dollar loss on his taxes for seven years? . . Yeah, I’m almost positive that this venture will be a success… 🤥 ---

A few hits and misses, sure. But what about Trump Airlines? Surely a great success story along with wines and vodka enterprises. And who could forget the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City or The Trump International Hotel Washington DC. /s ---

You got me there! And, to be fair, Trump Did have a major impact on businesses in the 80s. When the Trump chopper crashed outside of AC, killing his entire Board of Directors, companies around America suddenly insisted that key personel, when travelling, must always take separate flights. Of course that fact that Trump was taking heat from them and that there was an internal investigation that was about to begin re: his business practices… and the fact that he decided to travel separately from them at the last minute, are of absolutely no consequence. /s ---

Individual 1 called the Wisconsin Speaker of the House _last week_ and urged him to decertify the 2020 election. The Speaker told him he couldn’t do that, and Individual 1 has been bad mouthing him and calling him a RINO since. ---

The fact that the New York AG had just begun an inquiry into Individual 1’s and Ivana’s joint tax returns I’m sure has nothing to do with her death from tumbling down stairs when she had a bad hip and routinely took an elevator. ---

Fun Fact: A hand print rarely shows up on a person’s back when they are pushed down a flight of stairs. It’s a method which is as old as the Robber Barons (if not older) and has been used in cinema and TV by greats such as Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling. ---

“Oranganus lied…” That pretty much covers any situation. I’d be more shocked if facts revealed he told the truth. PS He narrowly missed sailing on the Titanic/Lusitania/Bismark as well. ---

Its OK. This is what we’re here for: to share knowledge. AC is Atlantic City; it is an old-school gambling city that is, unfortunately, pretty run down these days. It’s not as hot as Las Vegas (the ocean manages to keep temperatures slightly lower) but has depressed neighborhoods just two blocks from the Boardwalk. The game Monopoly was created using the names of the streets there, so they may sound familiar. Eating, drinking, amenities and clothes are expensive there, but large acts (like you’d find in Las Vegas) do stop there for shows and concerts. Inside the casinos you are perfectly safe…but two blocks away you will find lots of pawn shops and almost any human misery on sale. Out there can be dangerous; maybe more so than Las Vegas. Also, there used to be a lot of homeless people on the boardwalk pan handling a few years ago; I don’t know if the city has solved that issue. My advice is to buy a ticket and to take a bus into town; you used to get a voucher for $20 in coin (but I don’t know if you still do). Yes, you can drive in and park, but always fill up before you park and make sure that you never gamble your Toll money. That way, you know that you can always get home. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > AC is Atlantic City; it is an old-school gambling city that is, unfortunately, pretty run down these days. I remember when Atlantic City made a splash in the 70s by becoming the first place in the US outside Nevada where you could legally gamble. Back before riverboats and Native American casinos, it was the only bet (haha) east of the Mississippi – but it was rundown even then and never became the east coast Vegas its leaders hoped for.
