Rosenberg said Trump owed him over $1 million. At the time I said, ‘We always do a good job.’ And I didn’t get paid,” Rosenberg said. “He promised me, personally, if we did a good job, we would get paid. But he said Trump didn’t uphold his end of the deal. Rosenberg said the Trump Taj Mahal job nearly cost him his entire company, which was contracted to provide glass, mirrors and doors. “Had I known that Trump was going to take over the job, I would have never done the job,” Martin Rosenberg told “Nightline.” Trump completed construction on the project and inherited all the union workers who had started building it. He bought the casino after Resorts International couldn't finish the construction. Issues also arose between Trump and the hotel's contractors. Trump settled the suit out of court with no admission of wrongdoing. Roffman also sued Trump for defamation of character. Later, Roffman went on to sue his employer for wrongful termination. A little over a year after it opened, the Trump Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy and Trump's two other Atlantic City casinos followed suit the next year. Roffman turned out to be exactly right about the Trump Taj Mahal. No casino in the world ever had a win anywhere near approaching that kind of number,” said Roffman. “The Taj would have to make close to $1.3 million a day to break even. Roffman said what really worried him about the Trump Taj Mahal was how Trump had financed it - with an extremely high interest loan. 'The letter went out, and they fired me on the spot,' Roffman said. Roffman said he then wrote a new letter to Trump, retracting his boss’ retraction letter. And I thought, ‘This whole thing smells.’ And it’s very, very serious.” “He wanted changes made to that letter which would absolutely be against my - of what I thought was going to happen. And the very next day he called and said he wanted changes made to that letter … the letter that I didn’t write,” Roffman said. Roffman said his boss drafted a letter retracting what he’d said to The Journal and told him to sign the letter or else. Trump told ABC News the day before the Trump Taj Mahal opened that he was out to get Roffman, saying, “When somebody does something wrong and says something wrong, and somebody's in a conflict position, I decided in this particular case to go after him.”
