The Art of the Deal

 

When Donald Trump purchased and rebuilt Mar-A-Lago, the grand mansion and estate in Palm Beach, Florida, he got into a dispute with the city fathers who are well known for being strict on zoning regulations. 

 

Trump put up a 50-foot flag pole even though 30 feet is the maximum allowed to not be overly patriotic and offend other nationalities.

 

The city imposed a $1,000 per day fine while Trump and city officials argued back and forth.  Finally, when the fine had reached a total of $120,000 Trump proposed a solution.  He would donate that amount to veteran's organizations, would move the flag to a different spot in front of the mansion, and would only use a 30 foot flagpole.  The city agreed.

 

So Trump brought in the company that does his golf course construction, had them build a 20-foot high grassy hill, and put the 30-foot flag pole on top of that.

 

Now, would you rather have Trump negotiating an Iranian deal, or any deal or would you rather have Hillary.
