I tell you this so that you will understand that I will not interview, recommend or vet any new hire. A story - In 1993 trump and I had a friend that kept telling his pilots how to fly , and when to fly , he couldnt help himself from hiring morons as co pilots, and maintenance people based on cheapest rates. Donald and I tried and tried to talk some sense into him, to no avail. Donald and I were in aspen, sitting at little nells. when the friends plane crashed into the side of aspen mountain , klliing him and all on board,- Trump looked at me and said without a blink , I guess NOW he wishes he would have listened to us.- a metaphor for your office.. . had we not waited to the very last hour having had a six month window and tens of unasnwered text and emails re decisions needed including the 1031. you would have saved way more than you often feel obliged to argue about. . silly buti reallize you are stressed. Barry will need to sit with brad for months, to absorb all the co's , structures. cash flow, financial statments etc. I will present barry my thoughts on the overall redo , it will be the exact same email t
