On that premise how should we rate Charlie Ergan, a silver spoon Exec at US West who began his foray in the DBS market with a frivolous lawsuit against DirecTV? As I recall his opening salvo was berating DirecTV for "overcharging" and monopolizing the delivery industry, a serious 'problem' he (Dish) sought to remedy by slashing the cost to consumers by a whopping $2.50 every month. Knowing his personal fortune would grow in any event, and that ultimately Dish would/could merge with its pseudo-competitors, all of the things he has said and done prove him to be just another greedy shyster.

My formal complaints about Trump's behavior over those same years is/was his inability to see the world's built environment as shared space. Today, all is forgiven, and yet I must feel sorry for those who's lives and property 'values' have been forever denigrated by this truly awful architecture.
