From TRD New York: The typically genial real estate developer Richard LeFrak seemed downcast as he sat for an interview in his West 57th Street office early last month.
He rubbed his face and grumbled about the topic of conversation: his friend Donald Trump.
“Can we talk about my real estate now?” he asked. “The agreement was that we wouldn’t talk about Donald.”
For the record, there was no such agreement. But the billionaire’s eagerness to sidestep the topic of Trump, who has described LeFrak as one of his best friends, was clear.
