Hagerty will serve on the Trump board's audit committee. His appointment will expire at the 2010 annual shareholders meeting.
Earlier in the day, Trump Entertainment reported a wider first-quarter loss on increased competition, weakening economic conditions and promotional costs associated with its new player-loyalty program, TrumpONE.
Chief Executive Mark Juliano also said during a conference call that the company might sell one or more of the three Trump casinos if the right deal presents itself.
