The fascinating untold story of Jeff Sessions’ first experience with Donald Trump

Last Sunday, U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions raised eyebrows when he came out and endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United States.

The first time the two met face to face was at a Senate Subcommittee hearing back in 2005. Renovations to the United Nations building in New York City were being plagued by cost overruns, missed deadlines and incompetence, and Trump had decided to come to the United States Senate to offer his services free of charge to help get the project back on track.

The U.N. wanted to renovate its headquarters in New York City and estimated the cost at $1.5 billion. Trump estimated that the cost of fixing the U.N. building would be “$700 million, tops.”

“Anyone who says renovation is more expensive than building a new one doesn’t know the business,” said the New York Real Estate developer. “It only costs a fool more.”

Trump just tweeted Sessions would be his National Security Chairman.

Kick the UN out of the building and let Trump turn it into something worthwhile.

A five star homeless shelter wouldn’t be any worse than what we have with the current tenants

Demolishing the United Nations building would have been cheaper yet...

I have no idea what Trumps position on the UN is other than nobody can hire a bunch of illegals like me to save money renovating the UN, and of course I get my standard 50% kickback!

True, and even better if it just stayed demolished and the land turned into a beautiful park.

It would be worth 700 million to pay the UN to leave.

BTTT!

They wanted nothing more or less than to destroy the US as a sovereign entity. Traitors and subversionists!

I would evict the third world scum in the building and then light a match to it.

FU Jeff Sessions

You supported and voted to pass the Dems internet sales tax bill in the Senate. To collect the state sales taxes (internet) for my liberal run state on abortions etc. Called "Marketplace Fairness Act". Only a liberal would support a bill like that.

Is this the type of ‘deal making’ that Sessions is supporting Trump for?

Joining the Dems in making us pay more taxes.

Senate approves Internet sales tax with support from Sessions, Shelby(May 07, 2013 )

Meanwhile his hero is hiding his own tax returns from us.

This was long before this race and this vote totally pissed me off at the time, I took down names.

All the complaining about Boehner, Ryan but at least the house rejected this Senate passed tax bill.

All those here stuck in lib states that these RINOs voted to enforce at Fed level, is this the type of change you want?

FU Sessions!

Did the tax pass?

Is the TPP closer to passing from Cruz & Rubio?

The sales tax had some small lobbies for it. The TPP has trillions in donors behind it bullying everybody & Cruz joined the TPP gang for a time.

RE:”Did the tax pass?”

My comment clearly addressed that.

My enemy Sessions passed it in Senate. It passed there,to be tax collector for liberal run states.

Evil GOPe Boehner and Ryan blocked it.

I despise everyone, Sessions, McCain, Grahamnesty who voted for this Reid bill to screw us.

Is this the type of backstabbing that we can expect from Trump?

I wonder what Trump told the NY times. He has too much respect for them to let us hear it.
