In a sea of failed business deals, Donald Trump’s 2006 partnership with Australian billionaire Solomon Lew appears to be an aberration.
It took eight hours to sell the lot. Under the terms negotiated with Trump, he got a cut of every dollar over the reserve price but did not invest a cent. But Lew does retain numerous US business investments. He owns a residence and maintains a network of personal and commercial relationships in the country. As such he has skin in the game on how the US is faring politically, socially and economically.Many in the business community - both in Australia and the US - were horrified by Trump's actions following the November general election, which culminated in an attempted insurrection in the Capitol this month.
But the billionaire rag trader still views the former president through a different prism. “He has done nothing wrong to me. If he has made mistakes in his presidency that’s one issue but in terms of our relationship I see him in a light that maybe other people can never understand,” Lew explains.
Ironically it was Trump’s failure to respond to the pandemic that secured his election loss in November, Lew says. “I don’t like some of the things he [Trump] says, but his actions in his first three years made the US and the West stronger than the previous US administration.”
If Solly paid back the Job keeper $$ his companies got instead of paying his executives bonuses he might have some credibility
Solomon pay back the job keeper over payments your company has Rorted Just another entitled thief
'He fell apart' is putting it nicely. He turned into a mob boss when he started to see that he could loose presidency. imo
Did you ask him about giving back the money us taxpayers gave him?
But he'sfinally where he belongs
Incorrect the Age. Trump has been a dud all his life. For 4 wasteful years - Was the far rights useful idiot. Period
Now? How convenient.
bencubby He fell apart... give me and the rest of the world a break... his destructive, divisive and chaotic methods were evident... it certainly got to an endpoint with organising insurrection not expected at the beginning of his term.
What is the The Age going to do when they have no trump to blame 😂
Cry me a river, Solomon Lew.
He lied to 🇺🇸people about the results of a fair democratic elections, the effects of COVID & its deadly impact on 🇺🇸 people , inflamed a mob to start a riot in 6/1/21.For 🇦🇺sake-lets hope there will never be another unhinged 🇺🇸POTUS ever elected.
He put everything on the line to spare us from Killary at the very least 🙌
'Brief partner' = 🤔 underpants
Loser, he knows Trump is the best thing that happened to the Republican party
