whoa, you're saying a 6 time bankrupt felon can't manage an economy!? SAY IT ISN'T SO!

Business is tough. Companies don’t all make it. There’s no shame in that.

It’s not like he bankrupted a fucking CASINO or something like that.

Casino: a business where the revenue stream consists mostly of, "You give me money. I give you less money back."

Yup. Casinos may as well be money printing machines. It’s essentially a mint. It just produces money after more money. How the fuck do you bankrupt THREE casinos. Holy shit.

Here's my take.

Trump was in bed with the Mafia since dad gave him that small $1 million loan to get started.

But the real top bosses took one look at Donnie and fobbed him off on the second stringers. The top guys get the money, and the mooks hold Donnie's hand and show him where to sign.

So, Donnie learned from really dumb crooks. A smart crook would have kept all three casinos going, made legitimate profits and done ten times as much business laundering money.

Donnie thought he was a genius doing a bust out* that made him less money, but looked cool.

*Bust out. A legitimate business gets taken over by the mob. Starts ordering all kinds of high end merchandise. Don't pay for anything and sell the stuff cheap to other crooks. Eventually the legit business goes bankrupt, but the crew doesn't care.

Money laundering does seem likely. It is diaper Donnie after all

Because you use them to launder money.
