Who knows. This might have been a public remark in order to emphasize the point that he’s not intending to overspend as president. Not really in earnest (he could have easily been magnanimous by offering to buy her out at face value). They could be re-wholesaled, I believe, for far better than that. Maybe some obscenely rich Rat would buy them just to have the very fireworks that Hillary was going to shoot off.
Very true. Very likely. I learned during the campaign season that many times, Trump will speak in parables or metaphors.
He is not always expecting to be taken literally. His goal is to communicate a particular message or illustrate an overall conclusion.
