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.”
