Trump’s greatest accomplishment
By David McKee ~ June 15th, 2012 @ 10:55 am
While we can’t blame — much as we might like — the downfall of Atlantic City on Donald Trump, if one individual contributed to its precipitous decline more than any other, it was the guy with the orange combover. Seriously, what was gained by trying to thwart, stymie, delay and otherwise frustrate Steve Wynn at every turn? Then again, serial failures and sore losers like Trump resent being schooled by someone like The Wynner.

I read that book in a draft version. Skip sent me a copy. Really easy and fun read. I would have to agree though. While Donald was a big early believer and good promoter of A.C., he had a lot to do with its current failures. Imagine the kind of money he could have re-invested back into his hotels (or the city) if he had not spent the money fighting Wynn?
Anyway, the book is a bit outdated at this point. As you have pointed out, the two appear to be friends again.

Wynn just being a smart businessman knowing that, to a degree, they need each other to survive as they continue to fleece the public. Wynn also believes the old adage about keeping your enemies close.
