The Trump camp also suggested that these conversations were nothing out of the ordinary for the two men, who have known each other in the business world for decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have been friends for 30 years and they have always had a great relationship,\u201d Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks told FOX Business.<\/p>\n
That statement might be painting a rosier picture of the relationship between the two men over the years than actual evidence suggests. In particular, they feuded in Atlantic City during the 1990s, as Wynn began to gain a foothold in a market that had previously been largely controlled by Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cDonald was the dominant casino owner in Atlantic City and wasn\u2019t keen on having Steve Wynn coming into his sandbox,\u201d Richard Bronson, author of War at the Shore<\/em>, said in 2012. \u201cThere was some bad blood starting off.

While the Donald has taken a hard line on deporting illegal immigrants and building a wall on the US-Mexico border, Wynn is not so enamored with that idea.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Wynn also suggested that deporting 13 million people would be an irrational undertaking,\u201d Weaver said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
