Financial Turmoil Hits Donald Trump’s Casinos

If Trump's casinos hire union workers, like GM, Ford & Chrysler does, why not add Trump's casinos to the bailout of firms with union shops?
Unions were the third largest contributor to the winning side in the 2008 presidential election.
If you think donations aren't important to politicians, ask a big donator named Mark Rich, who resides in a Swiss chalet and would tell you that the best negotiator in dealing with any politician is money. Oscar Wilde would also agree.
Money talks and it says gimmee (you fill in the rest ____ e.g.pardon, bailout etc.)

I've been a contributor to the Trump fund for 20+ years.
Trump is an egotist and blow-hard and has absolutely no interest in casinos bearing his name.
The only thing that has the Trump name on it now (as opposed to many years ago) is a styrofoam cup in the Chairman's Club and in the hotel rooms. What a well earned come down.

The headline reads, "Financial Turmoil Hits Donald Trump’s Casinos." The writer and editors must be kidding, right? Like this is news.
Trump has gone through more bankruptcies than a porcupine has quills. In essence, he has a history of using the wealth of others to feed his lavish lifestyle and over-sized ego. His Ponzi schemes work fine while the bubble expands, but by nature fail upon the burst. I cannot imagine how he continues to sucker supposedly-sophisticated investors into putting money into his over-blown schemes, nor how reporters continue to be surprised.
