黑洞社区 looks back 10 years to when Donald Trump鈥檚 casino company went under. Has he learned about achieving victory - and solvency - since then?
Would you bet on Donald Trump?
鈥淥ur most exciting journeys still await. Our biggest victories are still to come.鈥�
These were the stirring and confidence-inspiring words of 45th US president Donald Trump at last week鈥檚 State of the Union address, writes Deborah Duke.
However, fellow members of the Republican Party may be hoping that the commander in chief has learned a lot about achieving victory 鈥� and indeed, solvency 鈥� in the last 10 years. For it was only a decade ago this week that 黑洞社区鈥檚 news section proclaimed: 鈥淒onald Trump鈥檚 casino company goes bankrupt鈥�.
The story went on to make clear the sheer scale of the company鈥檚 financial difficulty, describing its 鈥渄ebts worth $1.74bn鈥�.
This was big news for some in the UK construction industry, including Bovis Lend Lease, which was one of the company鈥檚 unsecured creditors and was owed $7.5m when the company went bust.
The article also noted: 鈥淒onald Trump and his daughter Ivanka stepped down from the company鈥檚 board on Friday last week after a row with shareholders.鈥� Let鈥檚 hope he鈥檚 been working on those diplomatic skills too.
