Sinatra (and Paul Anka, who gave him a warning) knew a punk when he saw one.

According to Weisman, Trump started off the new negotiations by saying that the cost for the 12 dates Sinatra was slated to perform was “a little rich.” The Donald also decided he didn’t need to book the other acts that were part of the original deal, including Sammy Davis Jr., who’d just been diagnosed with cancer, and Steve and Eydie.

“Who’s Steve and Eydie?” Trump asked, according to Weisman. Weisman says he then tried choking The Donald by his tie, but his son, who was also at the meeting, restrained him.

Weisman called Sinatra to tell him what had happened, and Sinatra told him he had two choices: to tell Trump to go f—k himself or give Trump’s phone number to Sinatra so that he could do it himself. Weisman returned to Trump’s office and told The Donald “Sinatra says go f—k yourself!”
