he liked the name because Barron's financial newspaper always implied clout and wealth and power.
Since we are learning he can't read very well, I also assume he thinks Steve Bannon's name is Steve BARRON, that's why he allied himself so closely with him.

Trump Towers because he didn't want to spend the money! I wonder if it is still there?

This goes up to sociopath or psychopath now for me. Narcissist is too nice for him

It can be sometimes be safer to leave asbestos in-situ, rather than risk release into the air PROVIDED it is properly managed in terms of containment, labelling etc.

But you're right, in terms of Trump wanting the cheapest option, regardless of other pros and cons.

I don't imagine the long-term welfare of the gang of Polish workers he imported to work on Trump Tower was high on his list of concerns.

9. It said he didn't want to spend the money. Removal would require special suits and masks

and other equipment but then the stuff would actually be gone. He didn't want to spend the money.

Isn't there going to be a point in the future where someone will finally have to remove the asbestos?

trying to throw all the tenants out! And when they wouldn't leave he refused to fix anything, broken elevators, walls falling down paint peeling off the walls.

It took 10 months but the city finally stopped him but some of them said that he continued to harass them.

One woman said something like, "Donald Trump wants to make Manhattan into his own personal city and let only the very wealthy in to live with him" Sounds like what he wants for America

He was able to buy these things by somehow paying zero down.

If even one of the cable channels had played this and it got attention he wouldn't have won anything. The "average American" that hated the way things were who voted for him would have hated him too if they saw what he did to all these people. And it is not quotes on a screen. The actually people are telling the story.

10. They justify it as "he was just being a good business man."

They are willing to forgive anything about him as long as he is attacking the people they hate, namely non-white immigrants and Muslims.

11. So do I - he has always been a pathological asshole.

Except now he's even more deranged and more powerful. Just the look on his face when he was sitting before the judge telling him he couldn't have his way. He looked like some petulant, bratty little teenager who has just been told he can't have the car for the weekend. I just wanted to punch his hideous face.
