"And all the while the businesses were circling the drain, how much of their cash was he sucking out in management fees, and licensing fees, and consulting fees, and administrative fees, and salaries for his spawn, and ... ?"

I don't have a link, as it was back in the '90s, but Trump and Wall St took his Casinos public, and Trump gutted them like Paulie and the GoodFella's gutted that restaurant in the movie.

I actually contemplated investing in the 1990's DJT, but further reading led to finding out that there were an enormous amount of people who thought of Trump as a 2 bit con man, and luckily I read some of their criticisms against him. I think there was even an old TMF article that
stated that investors should take a hard pass on investing any money in DJT. They were accurate,
DJT was just a Trump piggybank, he took his usual screw everybody else over path, as far as a
fiduciary duty to shareholders ( I cracked myself up typing that, Trump and fiduciary duty
to shareholders, lol )
