Is of course revenge.
For a perceived slight in 1975!!
Talk about holding a grudge!
According to writer Michael Daly, the common link between the two episodes is the billionaire Pritzker family; Jay Pritzker ran afoul of Trump when the two entered into an ill-fated partnership to manage New York's Hyatt Hotel in 1975, while niece Penny Pritzker currently serves as Harvard's most senior member on its board of governors.
Trump vowed revenge on the Pritzkers for asking him to pay his part to upgrade the hotel "at a time when [Trump's] dependence on junk bonds and outsized sense of his own brilliance in other projects had left him at the brink of ruin," Daly wrote. "He narrowly escaped and revealed a taste for revenge that has become familiar to many of us in recent days."
“They attacked me when I was down,” Daly quoted Trump as saying. “Now I’m doing great again and it’s my turn. I always said, the first time I got back on my feet, the Pritzkers would be the first people I’d go after.”
