Trump is Screwing with Casinos

I don’t care what side anyone’s on, but as someone who’s been playing in casinos for over 15 years, I’m furious at what Trump’s doing (again) to the industry. Now, he’s about to pocket $115 million if Bally’s wins a license for a casino on the Bronx golf course he used to run? Come on.
And don’t get me started on that “no tax on tips” announcement in Vegas. Sounds good at first, sure, but it’s an obvious political stunt. No plan, no details, just empty noise to win headlines. I’m sick of politicians using casinos like chess pieces. Real people work and play there.
Also, Bitcoin under 75K? Are you kidding me? That’s like watching your gambling wallet light on fire. Anyone who had their bankroll in crypto just lost a fat chunk. Try placing big bets now when your coins are worth 20% less than last week. I tried to move some ETH to fund my casino account and it cost more than a f***ing lunch. Feels like getting robbed before even hitting the damn slots.

Also, what about online casinos? This whole “let’s grow the industry” thing sounds cool, but with Trump involved, it feels like it’s all about money and no rules. Any random site can pop up, and the good ones get pushed aside by shady ones with deep pockets. And where’s the protection for players? No one’s checking if the sites are legit or if people can even cash out their wins. It’s turning into a mess. Feels like anyone can open a casino now, and we’re the ones who get burned when things go south.
 
Dude, 100% feel this. I had 0.6 BTC set aside for gambling—worth over 45K not long ago, now it's down like 25% and I haven’t even played yet. It’s f***ing depressing. Also noticing crypto casinos getting real quiet lately. One I used to trust suddenly takes 48 hours to process withdrawals and support just sends copy-paste BS. Feels like they’re panicking behind the scenes. Add in the crap with the stock market and it’s just bad vibes all around. I’ve cut down on playing heavy, just sticking to small bets here and there till things calm the hell down.
 
Whole damn thing’s a joke—politicians cashing in, crypto tanking, and we’re the ones getting screwed every step of the way
 
Yeah, it’s frustrating to see the casino space being dragged into political games again
People just want fairness, not headlines and half-baked promises...

straight up, it’s a free-for-all now. Shady sites popping up daily, no rules, no oversight—just cash grabs. Players get screwed while the scammers cash in.
 
Facts. That “no tax on tips” crap in Vegas? Straight up bait. Like cool, tips won’t be taxed—if it ever even happens—but what about literally everything else being unaffordable? Rent, gas, entry fees, drinks—politicians throwing us scraps and expectin’ applause. GTFO.
