And if you really want to know what the Mooch is up to, he's trying to cozy up to the president so he can get regulatory approval for the sale of his company to the Chinese. It's hung up right now but when/if it goes through he will net about $80 million. Plus, if he can get some favorable details into the new tax legislation it will save him a few more million in deferred capital gains.
Add that the price is much, much higher than analyst believe it is worth. For the extra money--investment--The Mooch needs to send favors to the Chinese. The same situation that Kushner's sister got caught in--White House favors for sale.
