Why Donald Trump's Old Atlantic City Casino Was Blown Up | Forbes
The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino was the first of three casinos Donald Trump owned in New Jersey-all of which eventually filed for bankruptcy protection multiple times and went belly up. Trump’s legacy in Atlantic City has long been defined by self-dealing, financial trouble, and avoiding paying small, mom-and-pop contractors.
The timing of the implosion could not have been more symbolic. With the second impeachment trial completed, hundreds flocked to Atlantic City to bask in the collective schadenfreude and celebrate the end of Trump’s presidency. Nearby hotels such as Caesars jacked up their midweek prices to take advantage of the surge in visitors coming to the gaming town, which was struggling long before its hospitality business was hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Buildings strong's basemate week thanks sir
Building 7
I thought demolition firms have been using Direct Energy Technology to bring down buildings for the past 20 years.
Its the equivalent of charges in a figure people may understand.
I think the pandemic has taught people a big lesson, having one stream of income is not really a good idea cause your job doesn't secure your financial needs. The pandemic has really set out business minded people from the rest that is why I'm so lucky to be among the investors trading with *metro__kelvinfx* on Instagram as his student it's been success and happiness since the beginning of my trades.
HMMMM SO THAT'S HOW THE WORLD TRADE BUILDINGS COLLAPSE IN 9/11 HMMMMM.
@oregon 1961 I know someone would ask me that stupid question. ITS A COMPARISON.
Kind of reminds me of the Twin Towers.🤔

I never heard of Atlantic mayor... Now I know he celebrated demo the tallest building in his city. Something is wrong.
Seen a couple of other "Tallest buildings in the city" demolished to heartfelt cheers, not for the adrenaline fix of a building being destroyed but from the sheer hatred for said buildings. Something's wrong all right, but not necessarily with what you're presently thinking.

Why does it look like when the twin towers fell?
Yep it looks ‘like’ it, similar in some ways.. and here’s the but.. here we see blue sky from behind of where the top of the building was, when WT1 and 2 ‘fell’ (actually ‘fell’ is a good word to use) the image we saw is a ploom of smoke/dust bellowing upwards and the building structure expanding outwards and disintegrating as it fell away. And on this building the molecular structure of each atom wasn’t altered in some exotic way.
look at how his hotel fell as opposed to how the twin towers fell....
It looks very different
look at the footage of the twin towers falling
Because it's a large tower falling
yep he's one helluva businessman
He's a pos
And people still believe the twin towers fell bc of airplane.....
@Charlie Davidson do you really think Bush was the mastermind behind 911 ?.
and the it was staged by bush
Ladies & Gentleman, this is the moment we've waited for.
It was lovely to see. 🤩😍
@Con Ken far from it😊
He hasn't owned that casino for some time...
Your life must be really small then
Looks like how 911 came down
Was just thinking that 😅
Lol.. so many thumbs up

That Ozark couple were not inform of this? Why ?
He had this coming
@Con Ken TDS real.
No it is now owned by someone else, so it was their building that came down. Jesus tds is so real
@Samuel Tremblay and that's the basis of your logic?
@docacuwatson still it was his
yeah, he sold it and made his money off of it which got him more richer
F the homeless new York and new Jersey are on their downs anyway
More FAKE NEWS. He didn't even own it and he didn't care.

Most casinos are money-making cash cows. It's hard for a casino to be actually losing money unless: a. Gross mismanagement and or negligent operations b. Money continually being drained from the business'es budget.

Excellent narrative!
Didn't even own the building
This world system is nearly over. JESUS is Returning SOON! ALLELUIA! "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
Stfu
They've been telling that lie for 2000 years. The dude is dead; just get over it.
You've been brutally Teabagged by jebus. Jeeeeeeebuuuuuus!!
What a fake news its not even trumps building 😭 he sold it many years ago
Lmao they’re just using Trump’s name as clickbait now 😂
Or the libtard description, like really?
@V Delcol o well most of the clips out there says in the headline its trumps casino
@Stupid its fake news dude the headlines says its trumps building....
Actually it is not really even News. People only want to go to new casinos. When they get old they start loosing business and eventually get sold ,torn down and replaced. A Las Vegas'er would laugh at the fuss this is making with all the Casinos they have seen come and go.
Ended like his presidency
Ended just like his presidency.
Crumbled like his presidency.
He didn't even own the building
He didn't even own this building
Dems being Dems, amarite
This isn't his pproperty for 12 years already. You people are pathetic.

Liberals are so pathetic.
@Joseph Galatha you just proved his point! 🤣😂
@thewizboy why?
@Joseph Galatha kalm down buckaro you don’t need to get at pissy because they are telling the truth
So you came here, with all your freedom - could have gone anywhere - you came here just to say you think other people are pathetic. of all the places your freedom and liberty could have taken you, your time is best spent telling other people they are pathetic. And you're so proud of what you say - you don't have the courage or the dignity to use your real name. That's ironic that you call others pathetic.

A totally liberal site, I’m out.
Who cares
Don't let the door hit you in the back
Boohoo snowflake
So, about those "uninformed voters" - - Steve Forbes, who owns this magazine and website, ran for President as a Republican. IT's about as liberal as the Wall Street Journal. Thanks for proving that those who run around complaining about liberals often do an outstanding job of proving they're far more uninformed and biased than all the things they're indignant and apoplectic about.
The views of this MNnews channel have heavily skewed conservative. The fact that they don’t agree with your Dear Leader on a single topic just goes to show that you have no views or morals, you brain dead vegetable!
Just the start of trumps house of cards falling.
It doesn't mean what you think it means lol
I Hate Forbes .

A mere bag of shells for a multi billionaire.
@Petrando Richard who cares. He ruined the American economy and made China #1 economy
@Joseph C. keep dreaming
He's not billionaire anymore.
Trumps name will be erased from history.
lol... America is becoming like China. You are proof.
No it won't. The media can't go 1 day without him.
Dumb idiots!! shooting the messenger
Ok Hitler
And yours will never be known heheh
I hope it won't take 25 years for his other negative influences to go away...
Negative influences like cheap gas? Gas is up 30 percent since Biden took over. We're already buying oil from foreign countries again.
At least this went out with a bang and not a fizzle, unlike that loser's political career.
@Politically Wincorrect yes I’m a type 1. My family and I are already feeling this! He really is a horrible president.
@docacuwatson he never did anything in 47 years other than drone strike the middle east and impose pro segregation crime bills
Yeah, Biden just doesn't have the same energy he did 47 years ago.
@RISHABH JARYAL Let’s not forget about Biden getting rid of the medicine executive order to prevent rising insulin prices. He needs Big Pharma’s money
Enjoy your expensive insulin, just hope no one you know is diabetic

He went bankrupt in 2009 while still being a real estate agent. After it closed the building started to fall apart and pieces fell off almost hitting people and they finally took it down to avoid injuries and to avoid being sued.
Yup ! But that doesn’t make good news!
911 👀
@AbeusMaximus solutely
There demo experts in NYC when those buildings came down and many of them said they heard what they thought were controlled demo charges going off as the towers fell...
Word!
Same thing I thought
Who saw Zack snyder justice league trailer..
@SpongeBob SquarePants naaaahhh
@Jovan Surjadi cause I'm super hyped for it
I think you’re on the wrong video 😕
🙌🙌🙌. But why in here though?
A failed busines is a failed presidency..
"What a beautiful sight"
@Pancho Rojas its pretty obvious from his comment
@Kyle Albanese he was definitely one of the best Presidents , and he should be in there right now not brain dead Biden
@Kyle Albanese he never said Biden was better...
He was one of the best presidents we ever had. He won the election but it was stolen from him. Can you tell me how Biden is better?
If you're reading this you have potential to create great things, you were put on this planet for greatness, remember that. Yes. You.
Thanks
I know.
@La Sagna Fack off literally
Thank you! You too ! ❤️
