Frank Sinatra told Donald Trump to 'go f*** himself' after the business mogul complained that he was paying too much to feature the singer at the opening of his Atlantic City casino, according to a new book.
In 'The Way it Was', due to be released on October 24, Elie Weisman, who managed the Chairman of the Board from 1975 to 1998, recounted the incident, which occurred 1990.
Sinatra had planned to perform at the opening of Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, along with fellow Rat Pack member Sammy Davis Jr and vocal duet Steve and Eydie, reported the New York Daily News.

No doubt.
ha!
well, if the developer wants a particular monkey, he has to be willing to put the coins in the monkey’s tin cup
Never got the whole Sinatra thing.
Must be the wrong generation
“I don’t know if Sinatra got his hands dirty, but he probably had tough guys on a short leash who would do his bidding. He also had mob connections. And from what I’ve read, he did tell a lot of people to F**k off. I don’t think a lot of them talked back to him.”
Yeah, lol. Everything you said was from your own fertile imagination. Who were the tough guys Sinatra had on a “short leash”?
And being a monkey on a stick for mob owned hotels doesn’t make you mob connected. It makes you mob owned and controlled.
But maybe you have some personal knowledge.
I do know WWII sailors threw tomatoes at his poster for him being a draft dodger.
“Reagan and Sinatra were best friends”
Sinatra was a lifelong democrat before he voted for Reagan. He was also close friends with JFK.
By '75, Sinatra's voice was a shadow of what it once was. By '90, it was pathetic. Weisman managed the Frank at his worst.
Wannabe mafioso type - he was just a hanger on with the goombas - tried to get them to beat up a reporter or two - they just laughed at him
Sinatra probably said that to a LOT of people, when he wasn’t offering to jump their bones.
She and my wife were playmates and next-door neighbors when they were little kids growing up on Londonerry (which was just a dirt road up in the hills above Sunset Strip at the time). Too bad they didn't stay in touch since then.
Said from a filthy, over-hyped Mafia Singer...
Not a shock. No Hollywood elite likes anyone that is remotely conservative.
That old Saturday Night Live skit with Phil Hartman as Sinatra was pretty hard on Steve and Eydie.
I saw him in concert in 1992 and he used a teleprompter. Shirley MacLaine opened for him, and I could have used more of Frank and less of her. His voice wasn’t what it was, of course, but it was still a good show and I’m glad I went.
All of a sudden we get this ancient story a couple days after Frank’s twit daughter embarrassed herself in a tweet slamming the NRA members. How do we know she was embarrassed? She deleted the tweet after the torrent of push backs from it.
I wonder if tough old Frankie told Hurricane Harry W. to go screw himself too?
sinatra sold out all the way to the end. You couldn’t get close to his venue. Ye was entitled to charge whatever. Also trump was entitled to say that’s too much. That’s the way the country works. Neither of these guys was exactly;y shy snowflakes. Not surprised.
As for being a Hollywood type - he was certainly NOT that. He was a family man, boater and big game fisherman. He gave away most of his money which is why he was still working close to death. I grew up in Newport Beach a few miles from them and knew Pat and Mike somewhat. We used to run into the big man at the Rexall and Albertsons.
People in show business have good gauge. What do the fans pay.
Read the book by Ed Rollins. He got in Sinatra’s face when Reagan was POTUS. Sinatra wouldn’t be seen waving to the crowd in Sinatra’s home town, Hoboken. Rollins made him do it. “Bare Knuckles” was the title. Good read. Make Arianna Huffington look like a Hillary wannabe. Turns out she was all along.
