UPDATE: December 21, 2016:<\/strong><\/em> Carl Icahn is reportedly under consideration for an unofficial, unpaid side gig with the Trump administration: that of a regulatory adviser.<\/strong> As a fellow billionaire and real estate and casino tycoon of many decades, Icahn would fit in well with Trump’s vision to lighten the regulatory load that was enhanced by President Obama, and make it easier for US businesses to compete in the global economy.<\/p>\n Speaking to The Wall Street Journal<\/em> today, Icahn said of the possible appointment: \u201cI\u2019m involved with Donald where he wants me to be – I believe he respects my views and I think he listens to me. What Trump is trying to achieve is to show business[es] in a lot of this country they aren\u2019t going to be ruined by absurd regulation by bureaucrats.\u201d<\/p>\n ——————————————-<\/p>\n The Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City is up for sale. Though you can’t travel to the beachfront casino and stay at the shuttered resort, you can reportedly buy the entire thing for the right price.<\/p>\n
