Monday, the Taj Mahal shuttered its doors amid a strike by union members that lasted more than 100 days. “There’s no reason for this,” Trump told The Associated Press in a recent interview as his friend and fellow billionaire Carl Icahn prepared to close the casino. The Republican candidate in the race for the presidency - who took his Atlantic City casinos through bankruptcy four times - minced no words about Monday’s shutdown of the gambling hall.
