Ele disse que resolveu dobrar o tamanho da obra. "O que aconteceu é que temos um salão de baile abaixo do orçamento. Ele está sendo construído bem aqui. Eu dobrei o tamanho, porque obviamente precisamos disso. E agora estamos dentro do orçamento, abaixo do custo e adiantados no cronograma", disse. Na sequência, uma jornalista afirmou que o preço da obra havia dobrado, e Trump se irritou. "Eu dobrei o tamanho, sua pessoa burra. Dá pra dobrar o tamanho. Você não é uma pessoa inteligente."

$28.3m Messi is MLS’s top earner again, making more than twice as much as Son

The Inter Miami and LAFC stars are the highest-paid players in the league by a distance, while other new arrivals’ numbers are revealed for the first time

Lionel Messi is receiving even more on his second MLS contract, as unveiled in the MLS Players Association’s latest drop of player salary information. The union drops offer a fascinating lens into MLS squad construction, a chance to play sporting director and give pass/fail verdicts on roster construction across the 30-team circuit.

The Argentinian – whose take-home figure does not include additional amounts earned via Apple streaming subscriptions or jersey sales through Adidas and Fanatics – remains far and away MLS’s top earner, receiving $28.3m in his fourth season with Inter Miami. Son Heung-min ranks second, with Los Angeles FC paying the Tottenham icon $11.2m, while Rodrigo De Paul joins Messi on the podium not as his bodyguard but as the earner of a $9.7m income.
