Former Trump Casino Exec Shares 1 Intriguing Theory About His Controversial Tariffs Policy
HuffPost
Jack O'Donnell, the ex-president of Trump's former Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, says one particular trait "makes it easy" for him to target U.S. allies.
President Donald Trump has no qualms about slapping steep international tariffs on “the friends of America” and potentially destroying those historic relationships because “he’s never had any friends” himself, an ex-employee told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
Jack O’Donnell, who was once the president of Trump’s former Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, made his case after Burnett played an interview clip from 1990 in which Trump said “it would be hard” to choose a best friend because he’s “a non-trusting person.”
“He’s always been a loner,” O’Donnell told Burnett. “He admits he doesn’t trust and he’s never had friends. And I think as a result of that, I think you take the friends of America, our historical friends, NATO, everybody we dealt with that came together during World War II.”
“He doesn’t look at them as friends, ’cause he doesn’t really know what friendship is,” he continued. “So that’s why it’s so easy for him to cast them away. They’re just another person. What Donald Trump has is acquaintances, and that’s it. He does not have friends.”
O’Donnell, who wrote “Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump” (1991) after several years of working under Trump, added there was only one person the former real estate mogul ever “called a friend” during that time. O’Donnell didn’t name them Monday.
