Donald Trump Took Liberal Icon George Soros’s Money
He’s a villain of the right wing, but that certainly didn’t stop Trump from cozying up to him before the candidate was an official part of the Republican Party.

Tim Kaine is taking some right-wing heat for getting dinner with the son of lefty billionaire and top GOP villain George Soros.

“NEW SOROS SEED RISES: Tim Kaine Dines with Billionaire Son,†blared a Drudge Report headline.

It linked to a Breitbart News piece saying the pair broke bread as Trump’s rise “TERRIFIES WORLD ELITE.†But if Kaine is friendly with Alex Soros, it probably doesn’t compare to the good times Donald Trump has shared with Soros’s dad.

Over the years, the two billionaires have had tabloid-friendly professional dealings, teaming up to build one of North America’s most recognizable skyscrapers—and shared billing on a lawsuit over the sale of the most expensive building in New York City.

The two billionaires even palled around one Christmas Eve. None of this means Donald Trump is a covert George Soros puppet. But it’s already given some conservatives pause.

The pair’s relationship goes back more than a decade. In 2004, Soros lent Trump a cool $160 million to help with the construction of Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported. At the time, some Chicagoans were skeptical that Trump would ever get his tower built. The project, after all, was yuuuge.

“It is such a huge project, and the prices he said he was getting were so outside the norm,†Robert Glickman, then the head of Chicago’s Corus Bank, told the Tribune. “It was reasonable to say, ‘Is this real?’â€

Trump crowed about pre-sales of condos in the building.

“It’s a great tribute to Chicago, to the location and to a great design,†he said, according to the paper. “And, I guess, to Trump, when you think of it.â€

The mogul was also very pleased about raising the funds to build the skyscraper.

“It’s a very expensive building to build because of the quality we are putting into it,†the Tribune reported him saying. “So people of course would say, ‘Gee, that’s a lot of money to raise.’â€

“But for me, it’s not a lot of money,†he added. “You understand.â€

It’s not a lot of money to raise when Soros has your back. According to Gizmodo, the tower is the Western Hemisphere’s second-tallest residence.

A few years later, another skyscraper brought Trump and Soros back together—but not in a good way. On Sept. 10, 2008, real estate developer Leslie Dick Worldwide Ltd. named both of them (along with 15 other defendants) in a lawsuit over the sale of the General Motors Building in Manhattan, as the trade publication Pensions & Investments reported.

Leslie Dick Worldwide alleged that the defendants engaged in a conspiracy of money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, and bid rigging when Trump and Conseco Finance contracted to sell the building in 2003, as The New York Sun detailed. The developer said Soros masterminded a scheme to keep it from buying the building, even though it outbid the eventual purchaser, Macklowe Properties Inc. Leslie Dick Worldwide’s complaint held that Soros gave Macklowe the funds to buy the building—which led to the allegations of money laundering.
