- “This is case setting against the American brand. The most stable country on Earth anywhere to put capital for a long period of time, particularly in real estate, is the United States of America,” he continued. “This is an assault on what we believe to be core and I find it extraordinary; I think it’s very troubling, it has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump at this point in my view and it is completely bipartisan.
