A federal jury has sided with developer Donald Trump -- not the 87-year-old woman who says she was cheated financially after buying two condominiums at his Trump Tower project.
Is Donald Trump a "reprehensible" conman who ripped off an Evanston grandmother and "stole her faith in other people?" Or is he being unfairly sued by a "sophisticated investor" who bought two hotel condos in the Trump Tower "with her eyes wide open" but got buyer's remorse and backed out?
