Anyway the premise is my dad (66) is saying that donald trump before he ran for president way back in the day when he was building the NY skyline was a known crook because he refused to pay some of his contractors and that it hurt a lot of families. Can this be refuted? I know he filed for bankruptcies and what not but what is the counterpoint to this line of thinking? Did it really happen and why? Regardless thats not who he is today but my dad is saying that this stuff was known before he was president and thats why alot of people dont like him still and have a hard time getting on board. Im so close to flipping my pops in fact i already think its happened, but this is one point that he loves to stick to. Hope yall are having a good day o7
Having some real conbos with my father and i have a question that i think yoi guys can help me with:
Keep in mind some of these were for AC hotel which was basically a sting op for Rudy taking down the mob.
The mob (Nancy P is one) love to play the hurt victims.
Companies layoff massive amounts of people, cancel contracts or go out of business.
Trump can be an ass. Mar-a-Lago was for sale for $20M Trump offered $15M they turned him down as other people wanted to the property to restore. Trump started working with planners and architects for buying the land and view next to Mar-a-Lago with plans to put up a Yuge building. The other investors backed out as they didn't want an obstructed view; and Trump bought it for $5M.
Art of the Deal. But yes this is why the r.e. investment world is very harsh. Cutthroat. Exactly the kind of tough bastard we need as president to pull us back from the brink.
