Donald Trump makes good tv, that's fine. But is he a good manager and businessman? I don't know.

Today news came out that his Atlantic City casino businesses, in the opinion of his independent auditors, may very well be bankrupt in a year -- so to say, that the auditors cannot determine if it will in business one year from now. This does not seem to be an indication that he is so great.

Unless I remember wrong he came close to losing one of his casino's once before and brought it back to life. Of course Atlantic City has been hurt by the CT casino's, which are IMHO SOOOO much nicer and more fun (esp Mohegan Sun). Living in New England, clearly they make the most sense for me to go to. But anyone in the NY area is about equal distance from both or closer to CT. And my cousin, in NY, who used to go to AC all the time now goes to CT. So I'm not sure this is just "the Donald." They will have the beach advantage in the summer so that might help some.

Also, I don't know enough of his holdings (or do I really care lol) to know if this is true, but for someone with as much income as he has, it helps him to be losing money somewhere for tax purposes. So this might be part of his big picture plan. Except he can't come out and say that lol. Just a guess.
