Is Donald Trump a Slum Lord?
Is Donald Trump really a slum lord? The answer, in general, is probably no but an article from The Improper states that he may have been in Atlantic City.
Donald Trump, who has carefully cultivated an image for quality and opulence, ran at least one of his casino properties like a fleabag hotel.
the company that was slated to buy the Trump Marina Hotel Casino, claims in the $17 million lawsuit that holding company Trump Entertainment Resorts essentially slummed the property by withholding maintenance and repairs when Trump was in charge.
Instead of fixing leaky windows and skylights, for example, the casino put plants underneath them to catch the drips.
I haven’t been inside the Trump Marina in a few years but it looks awful from the outside and in need of major repair. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, but I’m not familiar with the source of the story or the inside of the casino to confirm that this is true. This isn’t a factor with me not gambling at Trump Marina, but it certainly doesn’t help while I think about where I’m going to gamble in Atlantic City in the future.
