Curiosity about The Donald

Here is something for you folks to think on for a minute or three.
Our current president, Donald Trump owned at least one casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The casino went BUST!
Now I admit I am not a good gambler. I get bored fast at any casino. Seriously, after 10 to 15 minutes, win, lose, or draw, I get bored with whatever game I am playing. Oh, I never will try to play poker at any casino ever again. Did that once in Lost Wages (Las Vegas for most of you). They are all too damn serious for my liking. I remember the old days in Vietnam on the times I was at our regimental base on pay day. We'd play cards that night and the winner bought the beers and booze for the next night. It was all for fun even though we all put various pistols and/or M-16's on the table next to us. Yes, the weapons were loaded.
OK, back to casino ownership. Anybody with one half of a functioning brain cell realizes very fast that any game in any casino is set so that the house (the casino) wins. They do that partly to make a profit, but mostly to stay in business. 
Now, Trump owned at least one, possibly two or more, yeah, I AM too damn lazy to check how many he owned, big deal, check if you want.
Any who, his casino went bust! No screaming shit. Now any sane human has to stop, sit back and say; "Jeebus H. Christ on a fucking crutch! How in bloody hell can a casino go bust?" Seriously folks, the odds are stacked in favor of the house (casino). Now, this is the very same orange haired Donald who is now our president here in the not all that old US of A. Yeah, the very same guy who wrote (bets it was ghost written) "The Art of the Deal" and claims to be THE best ever at making a deal. But, the guy seems to be totally unable to even think about offering any sort of deal, other than getting nuked into the state ages with Kim in North Korea. Trump is just a school yard bully. Stand up to him and watch him slink back to his crappy corner, hole, or, assuming hurricane Wilma doesn't destroy it, his Mar-A-Lago place. Oh, I saw a headline at MSN.com main page that said his Caribbean mansion was damaged by Wilma. Tough beans and hard cheese there Donnie boy. Hell, he has more than enough money to rebuild them all, or.....does he? Only his accountant and maybe the IRS know for sure. Me, I don't care how many dollars he has, his tweets prove he is not ready for rime time, let alone qualified to be even the dog catcher in some tenth rate crappy little town in Mississippi.

Well, he did own a casino, or maybe as many as three, and it went BUST! Wonder how he let that happen? Yep. me also. Maybe he isn't all that good at making any sort of deal. Oh, he also went bankrupt multiple times. This should make any half way sane human wonder, even if just for a minute or three. Actually this is a serious thing. How serious you ask? Well it is Holy shit on a stick serious!

Well, old Walter P. Kronkat hopes that you all are well and that you try to treat others the way you want to be treated. Try it and we just might make this world a nicer place for all of us.

Well, it sure has been a long time
