Former Harrah's executive: "I know Trump..Don't vote for him"

I KNOW TRUMP. DON'T VOTE FOR HIM; EX-HARRAH'S EXECUTIVE

"I wrote of his bluster, threats, intemperance and falsehoods in 1985. Nothing has changed."


Thirty-four years ago, I was the senior vice-president for Harrah's and was given the responsibility to be Harrah's vice-president in a joint venture that created the Harrah's at Trump Plaza hotel-casino property in Atlantic City.
It was a major project at the time, one of the largest ever undertaken by either of our organizations.
We had equal ownership, with Trump as the land developer and Harrah's as the operator.
So, over a period of four years, I met with Donald frequently, often multiple times a month.
It was not a happy marriage, and it ended badly.
Before the divorce, I had ample opportunity to form an opinion of him - an opinion that leaves me appalled by the very thought he could become our president.
