They hung out together pursuing their shared interest in sexually abusing young women and girls. They stopped hanging together for whatever reasons, I.e., real estate deals or otherwise.

Trump never thought they were doing anything wrong. His history supports this.

Trump doesn’t have friends in the normal sense. He is transactional and uses people to achieve his nefarious goals.

As his niece, Mary Trump has said, Trump does not have a single redeeming character trait. How could he have friends?
