Donald Trump's billionaire friend Tom Barrack said Monday that his ties to the former president were "disastrous" for his business dealings, multiple outlets reported.

Barrack, who informally advised the former president during his 2016 campaign, made the comment on the stand at his own criminal trial in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, The Daily Beast reported.

The billionaire has been charged with illegally lobbying the Trump administration on behalf of the United Arab Emirates between 2016 and 2018. He also faces other charges including obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI.

He said his long-time relationship with Trump ended up being "disastrous" for him professionally and that business would be "unquestionably" better if he didn't support him in the 2016 presidential election, per The Daily Beast.

2. Note to media: you can go ahead and add "former" to "friend" in these stories

just like you did with "president".

5. I don't know how anyone could get acquainted with Trump

and think, “Hey, a friendship with this guy could work out really well for me.”

6. Greedy fuck is blinded by greed, gets Trump stank on him, tsk, tsk.

They say this stuff like it is some kind of excuse or they expect pity.

9. Exactly. An old billionaire who decides to break the law and betray his country

so he can make extra bucks that he will never spend, that will not improve his lot in any way.

I'll never understand greed at this level.

7. Trump being toxic was a selling point for Barrack.

Barrack isn't a nice guy, either. Read up on him. He's as corrupt as they come. He got his billions by lying, cheating and stealing. He supported Trump for the same reason Trump ran--to further enrich himself. May things continue to blow up in his face. I hope this ruins him the way he has ruined the lives of so many others.

8. He saw Trump as an opportunity.
