I believe Trump did speculate on the presidency, even back then. This bushie might very well have set him up for later use if needed.
He had money back then too. More than likely it was kept for an opportune blackmail attempt With that in mind “Follow The Money”! Who paid for it ?
going hot,
BINGO!
I was thinking about that, I betcha ANYbody that has EVER said ANYthing about running for Prez has had their backgrounds scoured for ‘dirt’.
Remember Trump’s interview with a TV talk show host (Oprah?) where he said that when the times in the US got bad, he’d run.
