The tower project wasn't canceled. It was merely postponed. There was a stumbling block to be got over:
The financing! The tower could not go through unless the sanctions were lifted. Trump could not influence the lifting of the sanctions unless he was President. Vladimir could not get his penthouse apartment unless Trump was President. Trump wanted the tower; thus to be President. Vladimir wanted his penthouse apartment; thus the tower. Trumped wanted to be President. Vladimir wanted Trump to be President. The rest will soon be history, as will Trump.
