I posted that yesterday. Even Trump knows not all business deals go through; it's all in the game.

A deal not going through is one thing, but even Trump would be stunned if a deal didn't go through because someone didn't trust Americans, or because Americans weren't "good enough".

Funny you should mention Trump. Guess where's he's developing a luxury hotel?

The Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower, also referred to as Trump Tower Dubai, will be the luxury centerpiece building of the Palm Golden Mile, located on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah. Shaped like an opening tulip, the gold condo-apartment hotel will have five hundred 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses, each with a sea view and access to five-star amenities.

The Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower will be a 50-storey building, rising 360 meters (1,181 feet) high. The development will also include a selection of high-end boutiques, fine dining, signature roof top restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and a luxurious spa and health club. The AED 1.46 billion (US$ 400 million) hotel will be the first joint venture between Al Nakheel and The Trump Organization, who's president and chairman is Donald Trump.

Construction on the Palm Trump Hotel and Tower is expected to begin in early 2006.
