He lost control some time ago. I believe Carl Icahn is part owner.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (CBS) — Another Atlantic City casino closes its doors for good first thing Monday Morning, as the Taj Mahal ceases operations after a bout with bankruptcy and a strike by union staffers.

Ownership and Local 54 each blame the other, but bottom line, 3,000 people will be out of work.

So the Donald's Taj is closing. What was that meme so popular in Republican circles these last fifty to sixty years or so, that they were the party of business and that their skills at running private enterprises would insure general prosperity?

Sure doesn't look that way to me. Even RMoney, an asset-stripping corporate raider, didn't cause this much red ink to gush.
