It's obviously Biden's fault.

But putting Trump's name on it would magically clear up this financial mismanagement.

At this point I'd rather the monuments of DC be demolished than receive Trump's pedophile touch. They all feel so tainted, and most honor horrible men to begin with.

From the little I read, it's bankrupt because people have boycotted it since the name change, and now Trump is saying that the only way to save it is to change the name so he can do a fundraiser (makes no sense). Just a complete load of shit, total scam, nothing more.

Just another result of conservative "leadership". Conservatism should be a disqualifier for any positions of leadership or government.
