Trump Taj Mahal Closing

The more interesting question is why did Trump name his pinnacle of achievement (at the time) after a world famous Muslim holy site? He does know part of the complex is a Mosque doesn’t he?

As usual you don't give the full story about how the general business climate of AC was at that time.
Yeah, but four bankruptcies and an airline liquidation. That's a lot of climate problems.

I was truly hoping that you would give us all of the facts and the context of what happened, but I realize that is nothing but a pipe dream.

Read all about it.



Specifically about the Trump Taj Mahal:

"Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, records released by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1990 show that at least 253 subcontractors weren’t paid in full or on time, including workers who installed walls, chandeliers and plumbing." [...]

"A half-decade after the Friels’ encounter, in 1990, as Trump neared the opening of his third Atlantic City casino, he was once again attempting to pay contractors less than he owed. In casino commission records of an audit, it was revealed that Trump’s companies owed a total of $69.5 million to 253 subcontractors on the Taj Mahal project. Some already had sued Trump, the state audit said; others were negotiating with Trump to try to recover what they could. The companies and their hundreds of workers had installed walls, chandeliers, plumbing, lighting and even the casino’s trademark minarets.

One of the builders was Marty Rosenberg, vice president of Atlantic Plate Glass Co., who said he was owed about $1.5 million for work at the Taj Mahal. When it became clear Trump was not going to pay in full, Rosenberg took on an informal leadership role, representing about 100 to 150 contractors in negotiations with Trump.

Rosenberg’s mission: with Trump offering as little as 30 cents on the dollar to some of the contractors, Rosenberg wanted to get as much as he could for the small businesses, most staffed by younger tradesmen with modest incomes and often families to support.

'Yes, there were a lot of other companies," he said of those Trump left waiting to get paid. "Yes, some did not survive.'"


How's that for facts and context, Roulette Man?

Mighty nice of you to only list the allegations and not post anything about the response from the Trump people[/sarcasm]. But hey, look at the source of who posted this.

There's a big difference between me and you Roulette Man. (God I enjoy saying that!) When I impugn some disreputable DonDiego-ish source, I give examples of their disreputableness. You, on the other hand, got nothing - and it shows.

And that's a big difference between you and me Roulette Man. (I know I said that before, but I LOVE saying that.)
Get the room freshener out. Forkie just cut another huge one. You take things out of context. You many times give only part of the facts. You many times leave important information out. Everybody on this board, with the exception of you, sees you as being full of sh*t.

LOL, are you for real?
Not unusual on large commercial jobs. They delay your final payments, force you to file liens (which do little good) the subs then unite and try to settle on a percentage of what they are owed. It is bullshit but pretty common in commercial work.
