Trump pointed at Aras Agalarov and exclaimed: "Look who came to me! This is the richest man in Russia!" (Agalarov was not the richest man in Russia)
Trump was charming and solicitous of Aras. he asked him what kind of jet he owned. A Gulfstream 550. but he had a 650 on order. Trump answered: "if that was me, i would have said i was one of only 100 people in the world who has a Gulfstream 650 on order." it was a small Trumpian lesson in self-promotion. Trump, proud of himself, emphasized the point: "There is nobody in the world who is a better self-promoter than Trump"
Trump then went to a nightclub. the club's management had heard that Trump might be there that night and arranged plenty of Diet Coke for the teetotaling Trump. the owners had also discussed whether they should prepare a special performance for Trump, perhaps a dominatrix who would tie him up on stage or a little person tranny Trump impersonator, but they nixed the idea.
the group was ushered to the owner's box, where Emin Agalarov met with Alex Soros, George Soros' son. Emin invited to see him in Moscow. "You should know. I'm no fan of Putin" Soros shot back . he was a big admirer of mikhail khodorkovsky, he added (mikhail is the oligarch turned Putin critic then serving time in a Siberian prison) Emin laughed it off.
