I te=l you this so that you will understand that I will not interview, r=commend or vet any new hire. A story - In 1993 trump and = had a friend that kept telling his pilots how to fly, and when to =ly, , he couldnt help himself from hiring morons as co pilots, =nd maintenance people based on cheapest rates. Donald and I tried and trie= to talk some sense into him, to no avail. Donald and l=were in aspen, sitting at little nells. when the friends plane crash=d into the side of aspen mountain , klliing him and all on boa=d,- Trump looked at me and said without a blink , I guess NOW =e wishes he would have listened to us.- a metaphor for your office. = . had we not waited to the very last hour h=ving had a six month window and tens of unasnwered text and emails r= decisions needed including the 1031. you would have sav=d way more than you often feel obliged to argue about. . =silly but i reallize you are stressed.
