REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Benefits Committee of
the Trump Indiana Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets applicable to
participants' equity of the Trump Indiana Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
September 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statement of changes in
net assets applicable to participants' equity for the period from January 1,
1999 through September 3, 1999.  These financial statements and the schedule
referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets applicable to participants' equity of the
Plan as of September 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the changes in its net
assets applicable to participants' equity for the period from January 1, 1999
through September 3, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of reportable
transactions is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund
information in the statements of net assets applicable to participants' equity
and the statement of changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets applicable to participants' equity and the changes in net assets
applicable to participants' equity of each fund.  The supplemental schedule and
fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

TRUMP INDIANA SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 3, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998



1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    -----------------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The accompanying financial statements of the Trump Indiana Savings Plan (the
"Plan") have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Plan Expenses
- -------------

Expenses related to the administration of the Plan have been paid by Trump
Indiana, Inc. (the "Plan Sponsor").  These costs represent trustee fees and
professional services and amounted to approximately $31,000 for the period ended
September 3, 1999.

Investments
- -----------

The investments included in the statements of net assets applicable to
participants' equity are stated at market value.  Market value, which is
equivalent to current value, is the unit valuation of the security at the plan
year-end as determined by The Chicago Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan
(the "Trustee").  Accounting records are maintained on the accrual basis,
investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis and gains and
losses are calculated based upon an aggregate participant cost that is
maintained on an average unit cost basis.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of net assets and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

2.  PLAN DESCRIPTION
    ----------------

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

General
- -------

The Plan is a 401(k) Savings Plan, which was established by the Plan Sponsor and
became effective on January 1, 1997.  All full or part-time, non-union employees
become eligible for participation in the Plan on the enrollment date immediately
following the completion of 12 months of service and the attainment of age 18.
In addition, union employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement that
provides for participation in the Plan may enroll upon meeting the same
requirements as non-union employees.

The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Plan Sponsor (the "Plan
Administrator").

Contributions
- -------------

  Participants
  ------------

Compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to voluntarily contribute to
the Plan up to 20% of their annual compensation, as defined.  Tax deferred
contributions are subject to a limit by the Internal Revenue Code.  The 1999
limit was $10,000 per participant.  Contributions to the Plan are invested by
the Trustee, as designated by the participant, in increments of 5%.

  Plan Sponsor
  ------------

The Plan Sponsor contributes to the Plan 50% of each participant's
contributions, not to exceed 3% of the participant's annual compensation, as
defined.

  Participant Rollovers
  ---------------------

The Plan permits eligible participants, as defined, to rollover cash or other
property acceptable to the Plan Administrator from another qualified plan in
addition to qualified voluntary participant contributions.

Distributions to Participants
- -----------------------------

Each participant has a fully vested interest in the amount of his or her
contributions together with the allocable Plan earnings.  Contributions from the
Plan Sponsor vest based on the vesting schedule described below.  The full value
of the participant's vested interest in his or her account in the Plan will be
distributed upon termination of the participant's employment.  The normal form
of payment is by lump sum; however, if a participant's vested benefit from all
contributions exceeds $5,000, a participant has the right to receive payment in
equal periodic monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments over a
period not to exceed ten years.

A participant may also withdraw all or part of his or her account upon
attainment of age 59-1/2 or financial hardship, as defined in the Plan.

Upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement, a
participant is eligible to receive the vested balance in his or her account.
There were no payments due to participants who have requested to withdraw their
funds prior to September 3, 1999 or December 31, 1998.

Vesting
- -------

Voluntary contributions are fully vested at all times and are not subject to
forfeiture.

The Plan Sponsor's contributions vest based upon the participant's years of
continuous service as follows-

Forfeitures
- -----------

The portion of a former participant's account which is not distributed because
of the vesting provision will reduce the amount of the Plan Sponsor's future
contributions.  For the period ending September 3, 1999, $68,105 was used to
reduce Plan Sponsor contributions.  As of September 3, 1999 and December 31,
1998, $51,759 and $60,069 were available to reduce future Plan Sponsor
contributions, respectively.

Loans
- -----

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts at terms established
by the Plan Administrator.  Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000
or 50% of their vested account balance for specific reasons, as defined by the
Plan.  Each loan is secured by the borrower's vested interest in the Plan and is
subject to other requirements, as defined.  Interest on loans is charged at a
rate that is comparable to similar loans made by commercial lenders.  Loan
repayment terms range up to five years (fifteen years if the loan was used to
purchase a primary residence).  A small administrative fee is required to
process all loans.
