In reply to the discussion: Trump declared bankruptcy in Puerto Rico, defaulting on municpal bonds, teacher pensions... [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)44. First of all, it was not "a Facebook post" any more than a link within a DU post is "a DU post."

Anyway, the key word is "MANAGEMENT." He promised to turn the course around, that is what he was contracted to do. He still got his money. He got paid either way, and the place still went belly up. To his credit, he had a good contract which apparently did not stipulate any milestones or goals. Just put his name on it, pay him, then wait until he declares bankruptcy. That's what he's (in)famous for.
