Golden Nugget

  • July, 1987: Trump reported acquiring a 4.9% stake in Golden Nugget, a rival casino firm: “Back home: Trump also has his eye on new turf closer to home. After leaving Moscow, Trump announced that he had bought a 4.9 percent stake in Las Vegas-based Golden Nugget Inc., the casino operator. Trump has already conquered Atlantic City -- buying control of Resorts International Inc., which gave him a total of one-third of that city's casino and hotelspace. His move on Golden Nugget raises many questions. Does he actually want to take over its casino operations? Or does he simply want to make a quick stock killing by playing takeover rumors, as he did with Holiday Corp., or troll for greenmail, as he did with Bally?” (Newsweek, July 20, 1987)

Pillsbury's

  • August 2, 1988: Trump announced that he had bought 400,000 shares of Pillsbury stock as a first step toward acquiring a 25% share of the publicly-traded company. “Donald J. Trump, the multimillionaire real estate developer, said he had bought 400,000 shares of the Pillsbury Co. of Minneapolis as an investment. The purchase represents a 0.4 percent stake, but Trump said he was seeking government antitrust clearance to buy nearly 25 percent of the company, the nation's fourth-largest food producer.” (Palm Beach Post, August 2, 1988)
