When discussing whether he ran into Trump when the two were 1980s and '90s power players in New York, he responded, "No. I never wanted anything to do with him. He’s a jerk, an idiot. Who wants to meet a clown like that?"

"He thinks he's a gangster. He does everything like a gangster. I don't think that gangsters in that world would … think much of him. … If you don't keep your word and do the right thing with people, no matter what profession you're in, you are going to get ostracized. And in that world, it's a little harder," he told Wallace.
