I’m sure a lot of you have read ‘Art if the Deal’ but I just picked it up this afternoon finally because it’s a nice day to read a book on the deck, and a few pages in, the story about buying Mar-A-Lago from the Post Foundation which they wanted $25 mil, Trump offered $15 right off the bat, they declined, and each time a higher offer came in that fell through, Trump lowered his offer. The sob ended up getting the place for $8 mil and recent estimates value it at over $160 mil which probably doesn’t even include the allure that it was a Presidential retreat. Unbelievable, from now on, when anybody says “yeah, but he’s a complete idiot.” I’ll remember that and I’m sure there’s more gems.
