He made deals alright..... with terrorists.

Donald Trump’s relationship with the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is under scrutiny this week.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee recently acknowledged that he made a deal with Gadhafi in 2011 to allow the Libyan leader to set up a tent on Trump’s estate while visiting New York. The deal eventually fell through, though it still netted him “a lot of money,” the business mogul told CBS in an interview that aired this weekend.
A report from Buzzfeed paints a somewhat different picture, however. Reporters Daniel Wagner and Aram Roston said Trump spent years trying to develop a business relationship with the Libyan regime, requesting a face-to-face meeting with Gadhafi and even taking Libya’s U.S. ambassador golfing.
Gadhafi, who died in 2011, controlled Libya for four decades, quashing all opposition with a fervent brutality. Buoyed by oil wealth, he had been a major backer of terrorism, including the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 189 Americans. He had been a prototypically cruel and bizarre dictator before Libyans rose up against him in 2011, prompting a civil war that eventually led to his death.
