And the reason he couldn’t have a team? Because all the other rich owners, the guys whose club he so desperately wants to be a part of, hate his guts, and want nothing to do with him, so they’ve iced him out of pro team ownership for DECADES.
The rich guys hate him, and want nothing to do with him.

No it was because they suspected he had mob ties and was lying about his wealth.

That’s definitely PART of the reason they hate him, although you could probably say the same things about most of those owners.
I think a bigger reason is that he’s just a massive Putz, and nobody can stand to be around him unless they absolutely have to. They don’t want to have him in the owners suite on draft day, running his big mouth, demanding loyalty and respect from everybody, etc. The guy sucks ALL the oxygen from every room he enters, and narcissistic billionaires aren’t real big on sharing the spotlight, especially with a massive dickhead like Trump.
They can approve a guy they like, or Trump. Anyone would choose the friend.
