... Standing directly in front of a marquee where only the faint remains of the words "Trump Plaza" are still visible, Clinton said the billionaire's defunct projects scattered across this struggling resort town are monuments to the fact that Trump is a bad businessman who only cares about making himself rich ...

"When this casino collapsed because of how badly he managed it, hundreds of people lost their jobs, shareholders were wiped out, lenders lost most, contractors -- many of them small businesses -- took heavy losses and many themselves went bust," Clinton said. "But Donald Trump, he walked away with millions."

At the Plaza and other hotels in Atlantic City, Trump reportedly misled regulators, took on more debt than he could handle and underpaid contractors, in some cases driving small businesses to ruin with bills he failed to pay ...

2. Go Hillary

Don't give don the con tRump a toe hold cause he will do the same and in most cases a lot worse to you. He is not to be trusted with anything or anyone at any time.
He's a CON man, nothing more nothing less.

3. Way to go, Hillary!

All she has to do is point out the obvious.

4. Trump went bankrupt in ACity at the moment when the rest were making rising profits.

He's a terrible businessman. He doesn't make money honestly and doesn't make much of that.

6. Bankruptcy is a business tool for tRump, and it's nothing more than legalized stealing

14. with the loan from his father

and his HUGE inheritance from him, some folks did an analysis of his money. If he had just invested his money in the stock market and let it sit there, he'd be worth a whole hell of a lot more than he claims he is already. I think somewhere around 3x as much.

7. These are the facts that really need to be highlighted

Trump as a businessman plays zero-sum games, and this is not truly contributing to the economy. Yes, he is a terrible manager, and also a pretty bad entrepreneur. He is a product of the go-go financial 80's.

I am glad Hillary is starting to hammer in some of these points.

Sad fact is that Trump deep inside knows this - his entire behavior, his rants, all of it is compensatory to what is down below a pretty low level of self esteem. Or so I would suspect. He hasn't really produced anything that has lasted, institutionally. Problem is - he can't. He is too damaged.

9. he's just a horrible person all around but I think his self-esteem is great

problem is he's extremely insecure.

If that makes sense.

10. Whoever came up with that idea...

deserves a bonus. Brilliant move.

[longship]

12. Well played. Indeed! R&K nt

13. I've heard it said that

the reason the name TRUMP is so big on the buildings is because then the banks will know which ones to take back when they come.

[Sunlei]

15. only regulators republican trump ever managed to get a casino license from. all others failed.

wonder who NJ regulators for Casinos were back in those days?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. The fact that the article says a majority of Americans think Trump is better for the economy,...

....shows you Americans are incredibly stupid.
