Trump took $17 million in insurance for damage few remember
– canadianbusiness.com
PALM BEACH, Fla. – Donald Trump said he received a $17 million insurance payment in 2005 for hurricane damage to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, but The Associated Press found little evidence of such large-scale damage.
Two years after a series of storms, the real estate tycoon said he didn’t know how much had been spent on repairs but acknowledged he pocketed some of the money. Trump transferred funds into his personal accounts, saying that under the terms of his policy, “you didn’t have to reinvest it.”
In a deposition in an unrelated civil lawsuit, Trump said he got the cash from a “very good insurance policy” and cited ongoing work to the historic home.
“Landscaping, roofing, walls, painting, leaks, artwork in the — you know, the great tapestries, tiles, Spanish tiles, the beach, the erosion,” he said of the storm damage. “It’s still not what it was.”
Trump’s description of extensive damage does not match those of Mar-a-Lago members and even Trump loyalists…

Rockwell Collins to buy B/E Aerospace for $6.4 billion
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The move by Rockwell Collins Inc. to buy B/E Aerospace Inc. will combine two of the biggest suppliers to airplane makers and airlines.
Rockwell announced Sunday that it will pay $6.4 billion to buy its rival, a 22.5 per cent premium over B/E’s closing stock price on Friday.
In afternoon trading Monday, shares of Rockwell fell almost 6 per cent while B/E shares jumped almost 16 per cent.
Rockwell said the deal will diversify its offerings to plane manufacturers and airlines. Rockwell sells avionics and electronics systems used in airline, business and military jets. B/E, based in Wellington, Florida, makes aircraft cabin interiors including seating, storage and lavatory systems.
Rockwell Collins, which is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said that with B/E, it will nearly double the value of systems it sells for new single-aisle planes by Boeing and Airbus and triple its components in bigger two-aisle planes that are often used on international routes.
The stock and cash deal needs approval by shareholders of both companies and by regulators…
