Description

Trump receives "recently discovered tapes"

Typed letter sent to Trump by a manager at his bankrupt Atlantic City hotel and casino, one page, 8.5 x 11, Trump's Castle letterhead, March 13, 1992, signed and inscribed at the conclusion in black felt tip, "Steve—Thanks Very Much—Best Wishes, Donald Trump." The letter reads, in full: "I recently discovered these tapes in the Entertainment Office of Trump's Castle. After determining the subject matter, I decided a prompt return to you was appropriate. If I may be of further service, please contact me at your earliest convenience." In fine condition, with two file holes to the top. Trump's Castle filed for bankruptcy in the month of this letter, March 1992, although he reacquired full ownership in a refinancing deal the following year (only to lose it to bankruptcy again, several years later); today, the hotel and casino is operated as the Golden Nugget Atlantic City. Given the allegations that swirl around Trump and his presidency, one's imagination can run rampant about what might have been on these tapes, deemed worthy of a "prompt return" by one of his managers.
