The Daily 202: Reagan White House viewed Trump and his 'large ego' warily
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Alarm bells went off in Ronald Reagan’s
White House in the fall of 1987 when Donald Trump announced that he was
considering a request to headline the biggest annual fundraiser for
congressional Democrats.
John Kerry, then the chairman
of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Jim Wright, the
speaker of the House, personally pitched Trump on chairing the event.
Wright (D-Tex.) even trekked to Trump Tower, along with the chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as part of the
courtship proces
