Griffin Sued By Trump On Resorts
By ANDREA ADELSON, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 19, 1988


LOS ANGELES, March 18— Donald J. Trump, the real estate developer, filed a lawsuit today against Merv Griffin and also sued a dissident shareholder of Resorts International Inc., seeking to block the former talk show host's $35-a-share bid for the casino operator.

In his suit, filed in Federal District Court in New York, Mr. Trump is seeking $250 million in damages and is charging that Mr. Griffin's $225 million offer is fraudulent, violates securities laws and constitutes ''tortious interference'' with his own merger agreement with Resorts. Some analysts speculated that the Griffin move could end the Trump deal.

9. Yes, and after 29 years do we know the result of that suit? What was the result?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Seems to have been litigation for posturing and negotiating

However, it was in the 1990s when Comrade Trump went bankrupt running casinos (money laundering) while other casinos were making gobs of money.

Griffin Wins Resorts In Deal With Trump
By RICHARD W. STEVENSON, Special to the New York Times
Published: April 15, 1988

LOS ANGELES, April 14— Donald J. Trump, under pressure to accede to a deal that would benefit other shareholders of Resorts International Inc., dropped his opposition and agreed to sell his controlling interest in the Atlantic City hotel-casino company to Merv Griffin, the two men said today.

14. I recall there was a problem with another property he had purchased from Merv ....

that Trump said wasn't worth what he paid Merv.

And that there was some sort of trade involved with the deal. His basic argument was that Merv had taken him and that he wasn't completing the transfer of property that was supposed to go to Merv. As I recall it in the end Trump ended up looking like a putz compared with Merv who got one over on Trump who hadn't done due diligence.

In the end it boomeranged to the point the Clinton Administration had to guarantee a billion dollars worth of Trump paper to keep Chase Bank from going under if Trump defaulted on his Chase debt if he went bankrupt in the mid-nineties.

Trump had a disastrous ten years in a market other people were making money in. The Clinton economy and credit guarantee saved Trumps ass. I never understood why Trump hated Hillary Clinton so much.

Then again, I might have imagined the whole thing. I think I got the most of that right, though.

6. Like the Sentiment, But ....

... it is "better than he." English please!!

21. Yes and I am sure if she were actually saying it, she would have said it correctly.

Nice to hear from another grammarian.

7. O.M.G.!!

8. Touche!

Touché!

[scarletwoman]

11. Is that an actual Senator Warren quote? Or did some anonymous internet denizen just paste it

on a pic of Warren? I suspect the latter, and I really despise that shit. It's totally dishonest.

And that's not to mention the erroneous grammar: the correct sentence construction is "...know how to run a casino better than HE."

[underpants]

15. The latter. No ""s

[scarletwoman]

18. It's still dishonest, quotation marks or not.

Pasting that text on Senator Warren's picture implies attribution, as does the first part of the sentence: Trump calls me Pocahontas...

[Chemisse]

16. I can't fathom Warren actually saying that.

Plus she wouldn't say 'Indians.'

[caballojm]

12. I hate to pick as well ...

but it should be "envious" not "jealous." I'm not sure about "Indians." I'd have gone with "Native Americans" but have been told on occasion that that's also incorrect.

[Chemisse]

17. Really (re: Native Americans)?

Who even makes these rules - lol!

[efhmc]

22. I have heard indigenous people say that they hate and/or ok with either term.

Perhaps we should just call them by their individual or tribal names or if referring to them as a group, the indigenous people of America.

13. Tee hee!

[calimary]

19. Oh SNAP!

I'd throw a Crackle and a Pop in there, too!
