in dubai, with a very, very, very amazing man, a great, great developer from the middle east. hussain demack, a friend of mine, great guy. and was offered $2 billion to do a deal in dubai. number of deals. and i turned it down. i didn t have to turn it down because, as you know, i have a no-conflict situation because i m president. i didn t know about that until about three months ago, but it s a nice thing to have, but i don t want to take advantage of something. so the whole idea is to, you know, i guess make the american people feel like there is no conflict of interest, but then he s pointing out a potential conflict of interest that he turned down just last week. what, explain that. i was reamed when abraham lincoln mentioned his dubai deal
didn t want to take advantage of something. so the whole idea is i guess to make the american people feel there is no conflict of interest but pointing out potential one he turned down last week. explain that. i was reminded when abraham lincoln mentioned his dubai deal at cooper union on the way to the presidency. i mean this is funny but it s not. again it s this hyperbolic new normal that we re in. he wants us to give him credit for not entering into what would be ethical morass in the middle east. exacerbated the whole situation by his realization that he does not have many of the traditional conflict of interest policies that apply to the executive office of the president himself. and i don t know about anybody else but when donald trump is able to say it doesn t apply to me, its not the most reassuring
markets work, tell me what happened with the markets. he wasn t just taking the markets around, i was joking with colleagues that we needed dramamine for the markets. he started trashing drug companies and defense contractors. the market just bottomed out. and then he starts talking about this dubai deal, there was another thing he said about big news, a factory opening in the midwest, and then the market swung up again. when all was said and done, the market closed about a hundred points up. the market has been as you know, on a tear since the election. but he has to be very careful, don t make a joke about this, jimmy, of raining on his own parade. because the market is really sensitive, to every little thing he says. tom: is that trump or do you and your business friends need to stop being such a nervous nelly s?
