Developer and Trump pal Stanley Chera hospitalized
Real estate honcho Stanley Chera has been hospitalized in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 78-year-old developer, who introduced his good pal President Trump at last falls Veterans Day Parade, was rushed to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in recent days from his summer home near Deal, New Jersey, with an unknown illness, sources said.
As the coronavirus pandemic grew, Trump had advised his longtime friend to decamp to Deal, where many Syrian Jewish families have large homes on the Atlantic Ocean, saying it would be safer than New York City, real estate sources said.
A White House spokesperson in a cryptic email only said that the president connected with Stanley and that all is resolved.
