It went out of business in 2007, but I feel certain that it will be resurrected with the 50-year mortgage scheme.

And every single attempted business of his, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, numerous casinos, all went under pretty quickly. So much for his reputation as a "businessman." So what would possess anyone at all to think of making him responsible for the largest economy in the world??

may as well go back to "balloon payments"
