Michael Jackson opened Trump's $1B Taj Mahal. 15 months later, it was bankrupt. In 2017, it sold for $50M, 4 cents on the dollar.
The ads called it "the eighth wonder of the world."
It opened in April 1990. $675M of it came from junk bonds at 14% a year.
Before it opened, analyst Marvin Roffman said it couldn't carry that debt.
Trump complained. Roffman was fired. He later won $750,000 in arbitration.
Trump, on camera:
"If I were humble, you wouldn't have a building like this."
The interviewer: he has something like $3B in debt.
"I also have a little more assets than most people."
"They have lousy assets. I have great assets."
In fall 1990, the Taj missed a $47M interest payment.
In July 1991, it filed for bankruptcy.
Over 100 contractors were never fully paid.
"The man didn't pay us because he didn't have money."
When the Taj closed in 2016, about 3,000 people lost their jobs.
In 2015, on a presidential debate stage:
"I have never gone bankrupt, by the way."
"On 4 occasions, I've taken advantage of the laws of this country."

DOUTHAT: Your net worth went up by $3 billion
TRUMP: So did everyone’s
DOUTHAT: My net worth did not go up by $3 billion
TRUMP: You should’ve owned stock. I have a lot of money. Far more than I ever thought I’d have

This may be a long video,but it’s so worth it because these are just a few of the reasons Barack Obama is one of the most loved Presidents in this Country’s history and why he still packs venues. Try not to cry and it will be hard not too.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

Donald Trump just had a mental breakdown on Fox News over the midterm elections..
MAGA, this is what “cope” and “crying harder” looks like.

Yeah, he realized Republicans are easier to manipulate and would allow him to get away with things.
Elon Musk was once a moderate Democrat who supported Barack Obama. He even stood in line for six hours just to shake Obama's hand when he was running for president.
In 2010, President Obama visited SpaceX at Cape Canaveral, where Elon personally showed him around.
But years later, Elon could no longer support the Democrats, because they had become “the party of division and hate.” He eventually shifted his support to the Republicans.
Now, House Democrats are preparing to make Elon Musk a major target of congressional investigations if they regain control of the House in the midterms.
Also in previous years, Tesla stores, vehicles, and Superchargers were targeted by arson, vandalism, and gunfire. Political disagreements are never an excuse for violence. These are crimes, not legitimate forms of protest.
It's remarkable how much the relationship between Elon Musk and the Democratic Party has changed.
