Billionaire casino operator Steve Wynn is spurning his friend and longtime business rival Donald Trump in his presidential run, choosing to stay on the sidelines instead.
“I’m a friend of Donald Trump but I have not supported either candidate in the presidency as yet -- I’m friendly with Bill Clinton, I know Hillary,” Wynn said in an interview. “I’m hoping our conversation in America in this campaign gets to be more substantive, about the real issue facing us at the moment and that is a constantly increasing deficit in the government.”
