What has Trump done now?

There's a lot of talk but a council spokesperson said they hadn't received a development application at this stage.

Trust the Gold Coast Council? Never! If you don't want it, tell Trump that Qld is not really part of  Australia. Nev

If it ever gets built Trump will probably be dead before it is finished

It would probably take around three years to design and build it starting from scratch. Even if it was built, I doubt that Trump will ever get his name on it. He will hopefully be in jail or in an aged care facility by then.

I'd be worried about it falling over. The Council wouldn't be game to question the Building Specs.  Too busy divvying up the Bribe money. Nev

The developer who is charging ahead with the Trump Tower has been bankrupt previously - twice. So I guess he's in good company with a U.S. President who has sent six of his business ventures bankrupt.

There was another council spokesperson on the ABC radio yesterday saying they have no problems with the developer being an ex bankrupt. He said deveploment is a risky business and lots of them go broke and it's a fairly normal part of developing , so move along, nothing to see here according to council.

Just what you would expect from THAT Council.  Nev

So, work is started but the money stops flowing. The Gold Coast is left with an unsighly mess, and the subbies get screwed again.

Who Cares?  I wouldn't live there ,IF I Won a House or unit in the lottery. Nev
