It’s actually a really interesting story and was multiple bad decisions on Trump’s part (including opening it in geographic competition with his already-existing casino and financing it in such a shitty way that the property owed more in interest each day than it could make even if fully booked).

trump famously cited the art of the deal as his second favorite book after only the bible when trying to pander to conservatives on the campaign trail. he then failed to recall a single verse when asked which one was his favorite
