Three failed casinos, as of next week, when the Trump Taj Mahal will shutter its doors. But that bubble has burst, and today, thousands are left jobless and flailing in my hometown.

If you grew up in Atlantic City - like I did - you always knew that there’s very little that’s funny about Donald Trump.Ītlantic City is a giant bubble that was blown into existence by the pursed lips of the GOP nominee.
