Here is another example of Trumps brilliance at Mar-a-Lago.
Mar-a-Lago was for sale for $20 million and Trump offered the Post family $15 million for it, but they rejected it. Trump purchased the land between Mar-a-Lago and the ocean from Jack C. Massey, the former owner of KFC, for $2 million, stating he intended to build a home that would block Mar-a-Lago's beach view. The threat caused interest in the property to decline, and Trump ended up getting the property for $7 million.

That's a little different than what he wrote in the Art of the Deal. But, hey man, you do your thing and I'll believe my thing. :)
