By Bernard Condon The Associated Press NEW YORK Donald Trump sells himself as a bold em- pire-builder, the kind of businessman who could force through big changes in Washington as presi- dent. Yet for all his bravado — "I've done an amazing job," the Republican White House hopeful boasted during his announcement speech — a review of the billionaire's financial fil- ings and recent deals sug- gests he's no swashbuckler. Trump is reluctant to take on debt after it nearly ruined him in the 1990s. He holds few stocks for some- one of his wealth and has grown increasingly depen- dent on making money by lending out his name to oth- ers rather than developing real estate himself. "People think of him as big. They see the Trump name around the world. But that's not his money," says Don Peebles, a real estate developer who oversees a $5 billion real estate portfolio. "He's not taking big risks." That's not a knock. Peebles calls Trump a "pioneer," praising his move into a nearly risk-free busi- ness. In an industry prone to booms and bust, say branding experts and rival developers, it's a shrewd shift that only someone with Trump's name recog- nition could pull off. In es- sence, Trump gets a stream of fees without risking any of his own money. But it's not the image that Trump is projecting as a candidate for president, given that his White House campaign is built around his prowess in the board- room. The candidate's com- pany, the Trump Organiza- tion, rejects any suggestion he's playing it safe. "We have been major buyers of properties," said the candidate's son, Eric Trump, who oversees real estate development and ac- quisitions at the Trump Or- ganization. "We believe in owning dirt." A few hoteliers had cre- ated buzz by putting their names on buildings — think Conrad Hilton of Hil- ton Hotels — when Donald Trump was getting his start in the 1970s, but the idea hadn't really caught on in luxury residential real es- tate. Trump made it work, thanks to unabashed love of glitz and glamour — and some good timing.

By Michael Kunzelman The Associated Press BATONROUGE,LA. Clusters of landlocked municipal- ities more than 100 miles from the Gulf Coast have secured millions of dollars in BP money through set- tlements designed to com- pensate local governments for lost tourism dollars and other economic damage from the company's 2010 oil spill, according to re- cords obtained by The As- sociated Press. This week, BP finished making approximately $687.4 million in settle- ment payments to 383 lo- cal government entities in the five Gulf states. Nearly $8 million of that money went to 32 government en- tities that are more than 100 miles from the coast, in places like the Missis- sippi Delta and suburbs of central Alabama, the re- cords show. BP's well blowout off Louisiana's coast triggered a deadly explosion that killed 11 rig workers and spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mex- ico, staining beaches, kill- ing wildlife and scaring away tourists. The company agreed last month to pay up to $1 billion to resolve eco- nomic claims by local gov- ernments, but the settle- ment payouts have fallen well short of that maxi- mum amount. The records obtained by the AP pro- vide the most comprehen- sive accounting of where the money went and what types of government enti- ties received shares. The AP analyzed min- imum distances from the center point of each city or town to the coastline to determine which locations were farther than 100 miles away from the coast. Jackson, Mississippi, ap- proximately 175 miles from the coast, received $1.3 million. Birmingham, Ala- bama, more than 200 miles from the coast, received $1 million. Among the smaller cit- ies receiving money is Ru- leville, a Mississippi Delta city that landed $40,748. Ruleville, which is nearly 300 miles from the coast and has about 3,000 resi- dents, said it lost revenue from sales taxes and other sources due to a drop in tourist travel after the spill. The city, perhaps best known as the hometown of civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, is in an area that is a popular destina- tion for blues music fans. "Everybody in Missis- sippi suffered to vary- ing degrees," said Danny Griffith, Ruleville's city at- torney. Irondale Mayor Tommy Joe Alexander — whose city in the Birmingham suburbs received a $57,225 settlement award — said a seafood shortage after BP's spill led to a decrease in sales tax generated by lo- cal restaurants. "We're very fortunate that we did get something," he said. "There was an im- pact on the whole state." BP's settlements with lo- cal governments are part of its broader $18.7 bil- lion agreement with the five Gulf Coast states and the federal government. Larger portions of settle- ment money are dedicated to coastal restoration work. BP already has paid bil- lions of dollars in compen- sation to Gulf Coast busi- nesses and residents who claim the spill cost them money. July 15 was the deadline for local governments to decide whether to accept the settlement offer, which could not be renegotiated. BP, which couldn't veto individual payments, ac- cepted the package of set- tlements on July 27. A modest "windfall" for several communities far from the coast must have been an afterthought for BP given the broader deal's high stakes, according to Ed Sherman, a Tulane Uni- versity Law School profes- sor emeritus and expert in complex litigation. "It's not a great deal of money when you consider the total amount of the set- tlement," Sherman said. Only a handful of lo- cal governments have publicly announced that they rejected a settle- ment offer. They are free to continue pursuing their claims, but may have to wait for a trial date if BP is unwilling to negotiate a separate deal. Many local governments that sued BP over the spill enlisted help from pri- vate attorneys who han- dled their claims on a con- tingency basis, typically in exchange for at least 20 percent of the settlement amount. GULF OIL SPILL Se tt le me nt m one y fl ow s to f ar - fl un g pl ac es By Kathleen Ronayne and Steve Peoples The Associated Press KEENE, N.H. Having been knocked from his front- runner perch, a fiery Jeb Bush lashed out at Repub- lican rival Donald Trump on Thursday as the former Florida governor fights to energize his stalled cam- paign and stop the billion- aire businessman's summer surge. Bush's name recognition and money — see his re- cent $100 million-plus fun- draising haul — have kept him near the top of the Re- publican pack, where he has saved his most aggres- sive criticism for Democrat Hillary Clinton for much of the year. Now slipping in the polls, Bush abruptly changed course over the last 24 hours, following some Republican compet- itors who acknowledge Trump has become a se- rious threat that must be dealt with head on. "There's a big difference between Donald Trump and me," Bush declared in New Hampshire on Thurs- day. "I'm a proven conserva- tive with a record. He isn't." He charged that Trump "proposed the largest tax increase in mankind's his- tory" and previously sup- ported partial-birth abor- tion. "I've never met a per- son that actually thought that was a good idea." Bush continued: "He's been a Democrat longer than being a Republican." The comments represent a sharp shift for Bush that underscores a larger politi- cal reality. He has succeeded in raising far more money than his competitors, yet seven months after first signaling serious inter- est in a White House bid, the former Florida gov- ernor has yet to resonate with the vast majority of the GOP electorate. His polling numbers are stag- nant, he faces continued questions about his family connections, and influen- tial GOP activists remain skeptical of his conserva- tive bona fides. "I've never met a single grassroots voter who sup- ports Jeb Bush," said Mark Meckler, a co-founder of the tea party movement. 2016 CAMPAIGN Bu sh s tr ug gl es t o ke ep s po tli gh t JIM COLE — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican presidential candidate, former Florida Gov.
