thebalanced.newsMarco Rubio References Trump Taj Mahal Casino During Visit to India's Taj Mahal
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the Taj Mahal in Agra during his India trip and joked that the only Taj Mahal he previously knew was the Trump Taj Mahal casino in New Jersey. The Trump Taj Mahal, opened in 1990 in Atlantic City, was one of Donald Trump's largest real estate projects, inspired by India's monument. Financed partly through high-interest junk bonds, it featured distinctive architectural elements and was considered a key asset in Trump's casino empire.
