“The Concacaf office I had headed was on the 17th floor of the Trump Towers from 1990 to 2010 and my own apartment was on the 52nd floor of the Trump Towers as well. In fact, my apartment wasopposite his and we were accustomed to greeting each other. I had rented the office space for $11,000 a month and by the time we vacated in 2010, the rent was $100,000 monthly. I would also often goto his casino in Atlantic City, so I’m all for him and wish him the best.”
