Donald Trump wants to rebuild the UN!

[cynatnite]

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump is the only person standing between an honest deal to rebuild the aging U.N. headquarters and a massive waste of public money. He told senators so on Thursday.

"When can you start?" said one appreciative lawmaker, Sen. Mark Dayton (news, bio, voting record), D-Minn.

The United Nations says it will cost $1.2 billion to overhaul the 39-story building along New York's East River. No, says the city's highest-profile developer. More like $3 billion, he told senators.

This project is no more challenging, he said, when he refurbished the skating rink in Central Park. That was years ago, when New York could not.

"This is a bigger version of the Wollman Skating Rink, that's all it is to me. ... I don't want any money. I want nothing," said the star of NBC's "The Apprentice" and author of "Trump: The Art of the Deal."

It really does need to leave New York since the US wants no talk of peace.
