Uhh, this wasn't a failure from the start, and Trump doesn't own it. It was a failure once gambling was legalized elsewhere - Philadelphia is about to build it's 5th casino - and once the state of New Jersey failed to adequately build infrastructure to support the city (including but not limited to a serious airport).

In case you missed it, this lasted substantially longer than some of the other casinos in AC

But muh Trump, muh capitalism #YouDidntBuildThat

If we're actually caring about the underlying issue rather then making fake headlines, I'm curious which will close next. I don't know a ton about the underlying financials in each case - the Borgata may be the most likely to last, but I'm not sure it can on its own. Golden Nugget is small enough to be a silly niche nearby, but it's still deeply concerning for the city.

I wonder if they might just say forget the beach and beg for Harrah's to be kept intact. Deep conflict in which part of the city to prop up.

I already stated that his brand is not failing. This has been an issue for a number of years, and Atlantic city is failing. Completely unrelated. The question you pose is beyond illogical. I'd hope you be able to see that.
