You all know that he made billions by owning gambling casinos. Then he added the hotels & restaurant

So people could stay there longer and spend more money. Trump tower is in NYC. All of NY voted for Hillary including NJ, CT, Virginia AND Washington DC. What does that tell you?!

Trump's casinos (at least some of them) lost money and they laundered Russian money besides.
The FBI and other feds have been looking into it, but I guess it's hard to prove unless somebody talks.

Yes it's true that the people of New York know him well after many years of Trump's nuisance lawsuits, BS headlines and other shenanigans. Not many voted for him in NY, except maybe a few counties upstate.

made them. He's been bankrupted 7 times. He's left most people who worked with him ruined. His casino failures ruined cities.

He has no common sense and no business ability. And, it appears, no sanity. Financially, he was born sliding into home base and currently resides on second.

He's a moron and a failure, and the only reason we know about him is that he was a useful idiot for Putin and the Russian mafia. For years and years and years.
