(60,010 posts)People wondered about that. Why is he building his own competition to his other casino???
Like so many things we are reluctantly learning about The Brainless Don, what he does makes sense if you look at it in terms of it making lots of illegal money.
casinos were money laundering joints,Not only did they make lots of money for him and others, but he went bankrupt to avoid paying the original bank loans back.
Herbert Ross helped him navigate the bankruptcy, he came out of it with thousands of dollars a month.
People wondered why he built Trump Tower with concrete, since it cost him so much more.
Duhhh...the mob owned the building trades.
Etc.
etc.
He's handling the pandemic just fine, for him. We will belatedly discover how bad it is.
The price he has to pay is to listen to complaints from his own party/ supporters about votes.
