Uh. Get the city to pay for it. Collect the funds. Don’t build it. Declare bankruptcy and keep the money.

Actually the only thing better than running a free casino is keeping the money and NOT running a casino. It’s the quintessential casino move. Dudes in Vegas are like goddamn that’s how the house wins. No overhead or nothing.

As far as I know he got some really horrible financing to buy two or three casinos that directly competed against one another and was in the red in like two days.

Dude. You can’t fake having your own hotels and ****. In the red. In the black. That orange son of a bitch has mad money.

And his daddy's money. And connections made through his daddy.

Money ain’t about paper and numbers it’s access and power.

He gets an A plus plus in capitalism

The proof is in the pudding. He ain’t never not been able to order the best steak and stay in the best room with the best view.

Say what you want. You can’t out hate Trump me but the myth that he’s bad with money is a joke. Idc if he started a million up he kept it rolling big ****ing time. That’s just the truth. That’s how capitalism works and what it rewards. Period.

He didn't go bankrupt, he received protection from bankruptcy and got to keep his millions. I think it speaks to the power of his branding that people think that his name alone could float him.

You could say he has pretty **** business tactics if filing for bankruptcy is consistently the smart option.

But hey, they're all better than Tom Steyer.

Warren is a shape shifting lizard
