28. Looking Unhappy
This 1986 photo shows Donald Trump leaving a federal court. If Trump looks unhappy, that’s because he had just agreed to pay a $750,000 penalty to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission. Trump had not notified the government before purchasing more than $15 million worth of voting stock in both Holiday Corp. and Bally Manufacturing Corp.
Even though it was a hefty sum, Trump at that time was riding the gravy train and things were going well for him. For Trump these little setbacks in New York were easy to escape since he had come into possession of a sprawling estate down in Palm Beach, Florida. Many know it as Mar-a-Lago estate these days.
