(15,526 posts)... there were elements of truth to what he said? I'm referring to him mentioning the influx of mobsters in those casinos. On the other hand, that's something that probably happens in many casinos... like the ones that Trump owned!
I didn't see his testimony years ago, but I saw it later online after I spent the night at a Native American casino in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I stayed at the casino after the long drive into the area for a hiking/camping/fishing trip.
The parking spaces reserved for Native American managers were all empty. I ate in their buffet and there were lots of problems. I didn't even complain much, but I asked the payment clerk if they were short-handed that night or if the missing food options and slow service was pretty common. I wasn't angry when I asked about it and I even expressed sympathy for the situation. She acted personally insulted by it for whatever reason and I apologized and explained with a smile that it wasn't a big deal, and I certainly didn't fault her. I made the payment and noticed that she approached a short Italian-looking guy while pointing at me! I walked over to the casino area to try a slot machine with a complimentary card that I received at check-in. It didn't seem to work, so I then walked over to the casino customer service desk to inquire about it. She explained that something else needed done before it would work, and she started to do it, but then the short Italian-looking guy approached and yelled at her, "Hole punch! Hole punch!" He had a New York-ish accent. He then walked away. The young woman acted flabbergasted, but then she put a hole in the card (through the magnetic strip) and whispered to me that the card wouldn't work now! I couldn't believe the petty behavior! I looked over my shoulder and the Italian-looking guy was looking at me from a distance with a smirk on his face! It wasn't that big of a deal because the card had been complimentary with a small credit on it anyway. I decided to just go to my room and go to bed because I wanted to get up very early to start the camping trip anyway. When I returned home about a week later, I Googled Indian casinos and mobsters, and that's when I saw the old Trump testimony.
