that Trump said wasn't worth what he paid Merv.

And that there was some sort of trade involved with the deal. His basic argument was that Merv had taken him and that he wasn't completing the transfer of property that was supposed to go to Merv. As I recall it in the end Trump ended up looking like a putz compared with Merv who got one over on Trump who hadn't done due diligence.

In the end it boomeranged to the point the Clinton Administration had to guarantee a billion dollars worth of Trump paper to keep Chase Bank from going under if Trump defaulted on his Chase debt if he went bankrupt in the mid-nineties.

Trump had a disastrous ten years in a market other people were making money in. The Clinton economy and credit guarantee saved Trumps ass. I never understood why Trump hated Hillary Clinton so much.

Then again, I might have imagined the whole thing. I think I got the most of that right, though.
