Trump Entertainment Resorts (NASDAQ: TRMP) disclosed on Friday that it would delay making a $53.1 million interest payment on its senior secured notes due 2015 as it looks to restructure.

The company owns and operates the Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and the Trump Marina Hotel Casino. The Donald serves as the nonexecutive chairman of the board and his daughter Ivanka is also a director.

The company's results have suffered along with the broader tourism economy, but the Trump properties in Atlantic City have also been hurt by their dated feel and the company's lack of cash that has made necessary updates difficult.

As I wrote back in March, Donald Trump has continued to loot this sinking ship: In 2007 he was paid $2 million for serving as chairman of the board in addition the company's purchases of Donald Trump-branded water and other goodies.

The stock closed at 31 cents per share on Friday.
