Let's hear from all the RW religious fundies ... are they planning to worship before it? Seems as if they will. Christian, until hate.

No, wait a minute. This is about that fucking, orange imposter sitting in the WH and screwing up the country so let's, by all means, talk about his trashy casinos, specifically the Taj Mahal in AC. I lived in in New York in the 90s and the casinos in Jersey would advertise bus junkets from New York to Atlantic City. It was enticing instead of driving down on the Garden State Parkway or Jersey Turnpike and paying all the tolls and dealing with bad drivers and trafficplus it was cheap and you'd get $19.00 worth of tokens that you exchanged for casino chips so the trip was almost free.
My wife and I took the trip and arrived on the Boardwalk, got our chips and made our way to the Taj Mahal as it was recently built and was advertised heavily. What a disappointment. It was a phony-looking junk heap monstrosity. Being trump, of course it was much bigger than the other casinos at the time but the build quality was so tacky. It was made to look like a recreation of an edifice straight out of "The Arabian Nights" with faux minarets topped by tulip bulb-shaped capitals at each corner and flanking the arched doorways.
The trouble was they were cheap plastic and already showing wear and the building was not old. The multi-color exterior walls and appointment were tastelessly garish in the color choices, cartoonish almost with plenty of fake gold. Fittings in the interior were also poor in some placesuneven floor and wall molding, etc. We couldn't believe this was what all the hype was about.
Of course the master builder over-spent on the monstrosity and his other AC casinos and entered into another one of his bankruptcies over a previously unheard of inability to make money running casinos. Who knew that was even possible?
So of course he wants to build something as his legacy. If it ever does get built it'll become the laughing stock the Taj Mahal
