BrainBro | 7 years ago | Reply Most, if not all, dollar billionaires know each other. There are hardly a few hundred true dollar billionaires in this world. It is a small community, so I am not surprised if Zardari knows Trump personally.

Ammar | 7 years ago | Reply Milka Singh also attended the dinner. Zardari trying so hard to remain relevant here

Haji Atiya | 7 years ago | Reply @Khan: Knowing him, he probably told them as much, at least the 'President-elect' of Pakistan'---the best money can buy !

Lumdheeng | 7 years ago | Reply So Zardari holds a diplomatic passport for easy travel abroad.He does not even hold a government position and I doubt Donald Trump even know him. A large contingent of Pakistan, PM Nawaz Sharif and his cabinet are also attending the inauguration of 45 US President Donald Trump.

Khan | 7 years ago | Reply Have they mistaken him for the president?
