For those who didn't know, Donald previously screwed up an entire football league by trying to overleverage.

He did that after trying to buy an NFL team but getting denied by at every attempt by NFL management.
This is why my dad hated Trump before he was in politics
My old man said the same thing. He also killed the USFL. A Spring (American) football league he pushed to play in the Fall to compete with the NFL, which led to its downfall.
Here's how he pissed off the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to join.

Yup.
Americans would have year round professional football if it wasn't for Donald Trump.

He does that to everything.
I remember reading this story back in 2015.
Trump and Harrah's negotiated a 50/50 partnership in Atlantic City back in the 1980s. The lawyers hammered out everything, both sides signed, and before 24 hours had passed, Trump was suing Harrah's.
Eventually, Harrah's decided it wasn't worth trying to deal with Donnie, so they just walked away.
All of Donnie's casinos went bankrupt, and Harrah's is still in business.
It was small potatoes…
