Former Casino Boss Donald Trump: 'Atlantic City Lost Its Magic After I Left Years Ago'Real Estate Mogul Says He Might 'Buy Back In' Atlantic City Market |
|
Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday after one of the casinos bearing his name closed its doors permanently. Another could close in mid-November.
Last month, the real estate mogul filed a lawsuit demanding that his name be removed from the two Atlantic City casinos. He still has a small stake in the properties.
Trump sued Trump Entertainment Resorts, a corporation he once controlled and still has a 10-percent stake in. The 68-year-old billionaire argued that the two beleaguered casino properties are hurting his brand and image.
“I want it off both of them,” Trump said in an interview. “I’ve been away from Atlantic City for many years. People think we operate [the company], and we don’t. It’s not us. It’s not me.”
On Twitter, Trump said that he wasn’t to blame for the casino closings, and he even said that he is pondering a return to the Atlantic City casino market.
I left Atlantic City years ago, good timing. Now I may buy back in, at much lower price, to save Plaza & Taj. They were run badly by funds!

It is so sad to see what has happened to Atlantic City. So many bad decisions by the pols over the years – airport, convention center, etc.

I have nothing to do with Atlantic City-sold years ago (great timing). For losers and haters, I NEVER went bankrupt. Plus $10 billion, sorry
