It certainly doesn't hurt that someone who builds urban towers has some level of input. Say what you will of the design, they're better than a parking lot.

Not for years. He mainly does licensing deals these days.

He used to. Now he just slaps his name on things.

Joining the Trump administration is a pretty risky endeavor. It remains to be seen, but the label "formerly of the Trump administration" could be pretty limiting in the future. It's a label that makes both liberals and many old-school Republicans recoil a bit. Knowing what I know about how Trump operates in business and life, I'd certainly think twice before working with someone who treats business relationships within the same ethical boundaries (or lack thereof).
