WASHINGTON – Billionaire developer Donald Trump reiterated his interest in buying the Buffalo Bills on Monday, saying that he doesn’t think his years-ago involvement in a rival football league or his history of operating casinos would stand in his way.
“We are going to put in a bid,” Trump said in response to questions after a luncheon speech at the National Press Club. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in Buffalo. If the price isn’t the right price, then I won’t get it, and I won’t be ashamed of it … But if I get it, I think I’ll probably do a good job.”
Trump said he didn’t know how many bidders will try to buy the team, which is on the market after the recent death of their founder and owner, Ralph C. Wilson Jr.
“There will probably be at least a few,” he said.
Trump – who worked with Erie County Republican Chairman Nicholas A. Langworthy and political consultant Michael Caputo as he considered a bid for New York governor – said he has “a great relationship” with people in Buffalo.
