If the "creative accounting" story turns out to be true, it should affect the Trump organization's credibility with the investing community. As you may recall, Trump did not meet their deadline to buy Hilton's Missouri casino, at an attractive price, because the MO. gaming regulators had concerns about Trump's info, particularly its debt load. Maybe they were glad to be off the hook on that purchase, but it did re-sell for even more money, pending that deal closing.

The irony is that The Donald was quick to jump on Mirage when it had soft results after opening Beau Rivage and Bellagio. Will he be as quick to criticize his own operations, if the flat results turn out to be accurate??

With this convoluted accounting, perhaps The Donald is qualified to run the federal government after all!
