The news in Atlantic City often turns sour, with profits tumbling, casino’s looking for new buyers, and the pie not growing any bigger despite new investments. Taking a step back and looking at what has become of “the world’s playground,” The Guardian interviewed photographer Brian Rose about his new book, Atlantic City, which was inspired by the election of President Donald Trump.

Trump once owned three casinos in the New Jersey beachfront town, with 8000 employees and a hefty chunk of the state’s gambling revenues. However, due to the casinos being built off the back of junks bonds that Trump was unable to pay off, Trump famously declared bankruptcy several times, not paying his contractors and ultimately abandoning the ventures.

The result on the town has been a higher level of unemployment, and a ghostly looking beach front. Rose said, “When Trump failed with his casinos, he turned Atlantic City into a ghost town. His legacy still haunts the boardwalk.”

Trump didn’t come out too bad in the end, borrowing more from third parties so his own wealth would go untouched. Re-investment didn’t appear to be in his vocabulary though, as he bragged about pulling wealth out of the city.
