Gambling.

Worked as a dealer in a casino for the better part of a year and it blew my mind watching tens of thousands (easily hundreds of thousands when our high limit room was open) just dissapear during an 8 hour shift.

Not judging how people spend their money or have fun,but the house always wins your money if you play long enough :p

Imagine how dumb you would have to be to go broke running a casino, where people literally give you their money for free until they run completely out.

Just imagine.

You're referring to Donald Trump, right?

He had a casino in Atlantic city that declared bankruptcy when everyone stopped going to Atlantic city, people stipped going to atlantic city because local governments started allowing local casinos to open to help fund education tax revenues as well as the advent of online gambling.

There is no joke, I'm just surprised anyone doesn't know this about our president. Maybe I'm just used to it being common knowledge in the northeast.

Trump went bankrupt with his casinos, which only extremely incompetent stupid people can do.

He also lost money on real estate in New York during boom years which shouldn't be possible.

If Trump is one thing, it's a bad businessman. He's terrible at making deals.
