World Donald Trump President Donald Trump’s business ties and previous friendly comments on Saudi Arabia appear to be disapproved even by his favorite news network that frequently favors him back. Fox News’ research team on Tuesday morning fact-checked Trump’s denial of his special interests with the kingdom under international scrutiny for not explaining why journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who criticized the regime in a column for The Washington Post, disappeared earlier this month and was allegedly murdered. The conservative network’s research team included five links in a bullet point list between Trump and Saudi business, along with the years. They are: “1991: Sold yacht to Saudi Prince, 2001: Sold 45th floor of Trump World Tower to Saudis, Jun 2015: I love the Saudis...many in Trump Tower, Aug 2015: 'They buy apartments from me...Spend $40M-$50M,' 2017: Saudi lobbyists spent $270K at Trump DC hotel.” About an hour earlier, Trump had … [Read more...] about Fox News Fact Checks Donald Trump on Saudi Arabia Business Denials

Donald Trump in the late 1990s helped lobby New York City officials to drop a proposal to require expensive fire sprinklers in older apartment buildings, including his Fifth Avenue condominiums at Trump Tower, according to a safety expert involved in the debate. “He [Trump] fought against it. He did not want sprinkler protections in those buildings because of the cost,” John Viniello, former president of the National Fire Sprinkler Association, said in an interview.

As discussions continued, Trump called city officials to argue against the sprinkler measure, citing concerns about installation costs and vandalism, according to news reports at the time. It is unclear whether a sprinkler system would have controlled a fire that engulfed a Trump Tower apartment Saturday, killing a longtime resident and injuring six firefighters, none critically.Todd Brassner, 67, an art … [Read more...] about Trump ‘did not want sprinkler protections’ in his Fifth Avenue high-rise, former safety official says

Eight months before, the company paid $150,000 to a former Playboy Playmate who claimed she'd had an affair with Donald Trump. The rumor the doorman had was that the president had fathered an illegitimate child with an employee at Trump World Tower.

The payout to the former Playmate, Karen McDougal, stayed a secret until the Wall Street Journal published a story about it days before Election Day. Since then curiosity about that deal has spawned intense media coverage and, this week, helped prompt the FBI to raid the hotel room and offices of Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
