Found out Trump actually lost money on his first Atlantic City casino

I was reading through a financial deep dive on some old casino filings last night. Turns out Trump Plaza filed for bankruptcy in 1991 after losing about $65 million in just a few years. I always thought he came out ahead on those projects, but the numbers don't lie. Anyone else dig into the old casino records and get surprised by what they found?

$65 million in a few years is a lot, but wasn't he also the one who bragged about the place being a goldmine? Did the filings say if that money went to actual debts or just disappeared into something else?

Wait, was that the one with the huge glass pyramid?
