Trump Obsession Hands Win to Mexico’s Slim on ‘Failing’ NY Times

Neither disclosed what they discussed, but Trump, whose fortune is about 1/20th the size of Slim’s, said at the time that he had “a lovely dinner with a wonderful man.” Slim is worth $57.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world’s 500 richest people. A few weeks later, Slim praised Trump’s negotiating skills while criticizing the president’s proposed border wall, saying the U.S. can more effectively ensure security by supporting investment that creates jobs in Mexico.
