New York Stanley Chera, the prominent New York City real estate developer and Republican donor who co-founded Crown Acquisitions, has died of complications related to Covid-19, a source close to Chera confirmed to CNN Sunday. He was in his late 70s.
Chera's real estate career began when he started buying the retail buildings that held his family's chain of children's specialty stores, holdings that became Crown Acquisitions, according to the company's website. The company eventually divested from the retail stores to focus on real estate. Crown's holdings include several iconic New York City properties, such as The St. Regis New York and the Cartier Mansion. Chera was also friends with President Donald Trump.
May his soul rest in the bossom of the Lord God Almighty
Did he get to shake the President's hand beforehand?
the virus is hitting everyone and we are lacking tests and supplies for them.
How can that be? It's like the flu. It's like a cold. Most people won't even know that they have it. There's no reason to be so proactive to protect people. Open up the economy folks: nothing to see here!
He was in his mid 80s. RIP. realDonaldTrump spoke highly of him.
Trump has no friends.
Who cares
Oh news for CNN!!
Too bad!
Bye bitch! 👋
BECAUSE OF CNN MISINFORMATION!!!
Too bad Trump couldn't join him
So...Hoax?
The world could do without rich greedy people. Redistribution of wealth please.
Stanley Chera a Millionaire in NY died. Our condolences. He fits the Corona victims profile - over 50, Diabetic with HBP and corpulent and sedentary lifestyle. Corona is indiscriminate-rich or poor , Black or White. Beware, Money cannot buy health. Take personal responsibility
CNN fan my whole life but this is such poor reporting regarding Dr. Fauci. You’re not providing the context for what he said regarding preventing more deaths if we started earlier. You’re throwing the one person under bus who we need now just to get back at Trump. Selfish
Latest update
And you should not expect a “warmest sympathy”(yes, trump said that) from the OVAL Nursery
I have the keys to financial freedom and I have been introduced to a carefully worked out investment plan to get steady cash. It’s really helpful especially in a season like this. I will be willing to share this knowledge with you all so send me a message if you’re interested.
So do we now have to know about everyone who ever knew PRESIDENT Trump?
I think this covid stuff is awesome! It gives us a fast example of what it will be under the GreenNewDeal. No air travel, no driving, low fuel consumption, whole industries shut down, huge unemployment, but clean air, nothing to buy, and the polar bears are happy. Its great!!
When is CNN gonna stop lying? Their disnformation about the virus just to attack trump is causing people to die! they dont realize hydroxychloroquine works because CNN lies, also another promising treatment exists, check CDC! the democratic party is the enemy of the US!
Interesting to find that this Pirbright institute seems to own the patent on some other nice supposed pandemics from the past. SO far PATENT for the CORONAVIRUS 1010701B2, 7720825B1, 3172319B1THIS IS A FALSE FLAG EVENT, please WAKE UP PEOPLE
I just acquired free stocks!
YES, WHAT OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS DID HE HAVE? DID HE DIE FROM THE VIRUS OR DID HE DID WITH THE VIRUS?
🙏🏻
Nah this is irresponsible reporting
'He had the best death. He told me through his ventilator, 'Don, (he calls me Don), Don, you're doing the best job. I see those nurses using too much PPE. After I'm dead open up the county in my honor. The economy must not suffer.' Then took his last breath.' realDonaldTrump
Trump might care, but only if there's profit in it.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT COOPERATE FOR THE SAFETY OF AMERICA AND PRESIDENT TRUMP , YOU'LL BE CONSIDERED THE ENEMY OF THE STATES!
It’s become dismally obvious to the entire world that you are not News worthy to deliver the news. Your agenda to discredit President Trump has consumed you. You will never regain your moorings again. Farewell
Corporate news has BLOOD on its hands, too! Why? Because corporate news has been making MONEY off of TRUMP's MADNESS... To give VOICE to Trump's PROPAGANDA is to underscore that PROPAGANDA! We are FINISHED as a nation!
This should free up some capital eh? Let that 1% concentration be redistributed 👍🏻
This must be the friend that Trump has been speaking of. very unfortunate.
You mean a flu, as stated early on by his friend.
Guidebharat Trump haters are SICK people. Pure hate. Have no shame!
FAKE NEWS
really
Seriously
Is this the chubby guy he talked about at the press conference a few weeks ago?
Lol
The sad thing is you are saying everyone is dead from the virus not everyone is dying from the virus and FYI trump is doing what he can if it wasn’t for China and WHO the most corrupt organization we wouldn’t be in this situation
NFTG
BistyCSRoss
waiting for BillOReilly to say “he was on his last leg”
A MalignantNarcissist has no friends. Everyone is supply. This is from your story. See the difference?
It is when for Trump 🤣🤣🤣
Jesus looked at him and said, 'How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven...watching the rich through this...considering my role
Trump doesn't have friends. Trump only has accomplices.
Like a friend friend?
CNN. Chinese News Network
21 million Chinese died of coronavirus – US intelligence officials intercept data.....any truth in this
Ohh gosh
All of Trump's friends got involved in Corona?
Я переживаю
Well, if I were a Republican and Trump were Clinton, I'd start bleating that Trump killed him...
Reality check There will be no cure or miracle vaccine for covid 19. People saying this are lying to you. This will be contained by herd immunity and some drugs. People need to realise it is going to reappear and be similar to the flu. People will continue to die of both.
Nice
Such ugliness in this world, I’m glad Twitter exposed it
Died of COVID19 or complications related to it? You either die of something or not. davidicke was right about this medie narrative.
TheRickWilson My condolences to the Chera family. What about the other 20,000 lives lost? They don't receive any special recognition.
TheRickWilson Aaaaah finally the fat friend he was referring to.
Bad news, but that’s story of life
Oh-My-God-Omniabsolute/Gravitational-Constant: Whaaaat? RIP 'Stanley Chera'. 'And this too shall/will come to past/pass, yet GRAVITY know his whereabouts'. (eulogy and flowers).
TheRickWilson He probably had underlying conditions but the never trumpers just conveniently blamed it on the virus.... Sure.
So sad.
Correction. Killed. New too much.
Sorry about your booboo Stan. Maybe Trump’s own words can go on your tombstone...
😥
I hope he dinner with him! I hope he dinner with him! I hope he dinner with him! I hope he dinner with him!
His first name is my first name...
Rename yourselves CNN broken news. How is it breaking if it’s all of it? Speculation “News”.
TheRickWilson AMF!
My deepest condolences.
Trump is shocked about such news
TheRickWilson ETTD
galacticasitrep Trump has “friends”?
TheRickWilson Many of us know someone who has died because of trumps negligence.
TheRickWilson Damn, wish it was Trump
Trump has no friends.
I'm so sorry to hear this...no one deserves to die due to the pumpkins inaction.
TheRickWilson In the Trump scheme of things, just another person who ruined his numbers by dying. To the rest of us, we should send our prayers for the family loss. Regardless of party, race, religion, or gender, each life lost is one of God’s creations. Pray and be well America.
Pls, my Prayers and Sympathy goes to his beloved wife and Family! May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord!
TheRickWilson As grandma used to say, 'What goes around, comes around...'
Trump has “friends”?
That’s what Trump does to friends.
, French Doctor Claims Solid Results in Study of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin
This must be the overweight friend he talked about?
I’m stuck in Thailand. US embassy denied caregivers visas for travel with us. Need to exchange home ventilator that was recalled. Can you help?
guys i dont think trump is real
Thoughts and prayers
Maybe now he’ll get it.
Trump will claim he never met him.
Trump don’t care..
TheRickWilson Need a few more closer to trump to die before he’ll decide to say that he always said it was serious.
I'm sure this was the friend who was just on the verge of making Trump a better man through his constant guiding moral friendship. Very sad.
TheRickWilson Will not make one bit of difference to trump he is so self involved. He dies he doesn’t know he’s dead and it makes no difference to him either. But his grifter family would feel bad because the head, and was gone
Hard to feel bad....
TheRickWilson Oops
TheRickWilson Shocking. Trump had a friend?
Maybe Donald will send flowers? Did I hear laughing coming from the other room?
Kankaym Thoughts and prayers
😬🧐
TheRickWilson He was heavy, and..not so young
UPDATE
TheRickWilson People celebrating a death because the deceased had a relationship with POTUS . You don’t even know the man! TDS is very real ThesePeopleAreSick
Get a clue.... Government pays up to $35,000 for people who die with Covid19 in their system. NY is making a lot of money.... Ship needed... has 15 patients, Convention Center needed..finally packed up.. Dr. admitted to pressure in COD Covid19.
TheRickWilson Who Cares?
Trump has friends? 😂
TheRickWilson I don't really care, do u? i'd feel worse for all the doormen at his bldgs
TheRickWilson “thoughts and prayers”
TheRickWilson May he be a Rock Hudson for our day
TheRickWilson With friends like trump who needs enemies? TrumpVirus
TheRickWilson Is this the 'overweight' guy he referred to?
TheRickWilson He won't care unless it affects his immediate family. And even in that case it will really depend on who it is.
TheRickWilson Will this be it? Will this be what makes him act responsibly? Nah!
TheRickWilson He has no friends.
TheRickWilson Still doing a great job realDonaldTrump? Sorry, bu that rhetorical question had to be asked. Think before you speak next time -and forever.
TheRickWilson Huh. Guess it wasn't a completely fictional story like usual.
TheRickWilson Did his campaign contribution check clear first? ETTD
I'm sad for this man's family. RIP Mr. Cheers.
TheRickWilson Well .....that CAN'T be true, since there were only 15 people who were sick and then it was just gonna MAGICALLY disappear!!
TheRickWilson 😢
TheRickWilson Must have been the overweight guy he was talking about.
TheRickWilson Trump doesn’t have friends. He only has people he uses.
TheRickWilson
TheRickWilson Karma
TheRickWilson The man has no friends not one. Watch him say he doesn’t know the guy. Is not capable of caring for anyone not even his children.
TheRickWilson Oh by the way here’s your check.
TheRickWilson Don't worry. Donnie says it's all fake news. Or it's a hoax. Or it's Democrats' fault. Or it's a Chinese conspiracy. Or it's definitely something else, but it's not Donnie's fault.
TheRickWilson Good riddance
TheRickWilson
TheRickWilson Not fake anymore... pretty real when you know people who are dying.😥
RIPStanley on Easter Sunday ✝️🙏🏼
TheRickWilson Thoughts and prayers go out? Republicans response for every tragedy
TheRickWilson
TheRickWilson 😂😂😂😂
Can we get a f?
realDonaldTrump tell Stanley it was a hoax.
CNN, please stop taking money from scammy con artist My Pillow guy. His product is no good. Pretty soon I will ban your network the same way he does in Laughlin, NV.
PeakVentilators Is this the guy who called Jared and said New York was dying and then Trump finally said ‘oh shit, I’d better do something.’
CNN are probably having champagne to celebrate that one of Trumps fried has died. Latinos for Trump!
Correct friend to read donor.
Trump said he doesn't like people who are weak, didn't he?
Please help! So tired. 1 ½ yrs still not fixed. TSA officer for 15 years at FLL in Florida, forced to retire for medical reasons and Blue Cross Blue Shield has been paid twice premiums. Still not correcting in computer. FLL, Blue Cross Blue Sheild Fed, TSA
And Trump couldn't give two fucks!
Hope the guy owes Trump money.....That the only way trump gives a shit.
Liberal hoax I presume ... Rest In Peace anyway
Good grief. The replies to this article are absolutely stunning. Is this what followers of CNN have become? Anything goes when it comes to Trump. There is no humanity left in you people. You claim so many things about Trump but you yourself are 10 times worse. Fueled by CNN.
And this is news because...?
While at the same time Biden is accused of Rape and not a word. Just be fair - ask the questions. CNNFakeNews What were the complications; the article says noting about this. Did he have pneumonia or cardiac issues or pancreatic cancer and happened to also have CoVid.
So? We should care about a trump 'friend' because.....
A Trump crony gone ... Here's my feelings as expressed by Melania & her jacket on the way to the Children's Detention Center ... It's a shame Trump, his 'First Whore', ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr., Eric, McConnell, & Graham havent caught, suffered from, & died from it already.
I’m sure he will suddenly not know him any longer.
Sad for his family. Can we also talk about the WH not approving a bailout for USPS due to COVID19? * this needs to go viral* Congress must pass H. R. 2382 to repeal the GOP's PAEA passed in 2006. CALL or write your Representatives to stop this!
I had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman at 2nd Avenue Deli on a visit to NYC. He was a sweet and gracious guy.
McClain_on_NFL Did bill oreilly let him know he was on his last legs?
Trump must be sad, he lost a vote.
Does Trump really have friends? Seems like sooner or later they all end up being third rate or people he barely knew.
Finally you decided to write ' complications related to Covid19'....at least this was a warning from the beginning of the crisis....people with one or more grave underlying health conditions,(even kids) weakened immune systems, old people are the ones in real danger...
Suppose it was PresidentTrumps fault! Oh ya the whole virus in the US is his fault. Your news station is a joke so biased. Need to start reporting and stop looking for Democratic talking points
how's this news
Hmm, how much longer before our buttmunch of a POTUS has been erased from history?AnyoneButTrump2020
Just maybe this will hit home and Trump will finally treat NY the same way he’s treating Florida? Ha who am I kidding.
That is the Trump 'overweight' friend in a coma from last week! The man can't be anymore worse at insensitivity!
When the herd gets thinned it doesn’t care who you know or what political party you are associated with it only cares how strong your body and will are.
DocPakistan He should have taken hydroxychloroquine. What did he have to lose ?
McClain_on_NFL Clinton 19
While Chera was known in New York as a real estate and business titan, he also was a philanthropist who funded causes like soup kitchens, the source told CNN. His ultimate philanthropic passion was aid for special needs children,
🙏🏻
Break room cake at 3:00!
coronavirus is deadly to older people especially
He won't be the last. This thing is far from over.
Is this his friend he was talking about all the time in the press briefings?
In the United States, coronavirus deaths are the highest in the world. I couldn't get rid of my stigma.
He didn't die from the virus. He had another health issue that was complicated by the virus. By the end of this the media is gonna say JFK was actually killed by a early version of COVD 19 that complicated the effect.of the bullet.
CNN Americans are dying, but you decide to name an American that is dead by his political name just to create hatred and division, shame on you cnn, those thousands that are dying are Americans not political party, CNN remember that God can bring u down in a minute
May his memory be a blessing forever. Baruch Dayan Emet.
Trump has a friend? Well, had.
CNN has bad judgement. Your hate for Trump is second to none. We wish you can make us to love and trust your news again. Stick to your values and get back to real news
a friend of trump is an enemy of the united states
Were the complications related to metabolic disorders? Excess inflammation in the kidneys or fatty liver? Ischemic heart disease? Which came first ?
RIP. Donald Must should discipline China before he leaves office. Chinese virus has tainted his imagine.
kimmyann1111 How long till he brags about being the BEST AND ONLY real estate developer in NYC
Good riddance.. a friend of trump is no friend of mine!
It won't take long for CNN to blame Trump for this which they are subliminally doing already...
Having money doesn't make you immune...
wonder if they hugged or shook hands recently?
Was this Trump’ fault as well ? Sorry for the loss as I’m sure we all are.....
So as many to come... RIP Mister Chera Don't forget the responsability of Trump Administration in late confinment while voting!
It is sad that this occurred. It is made even sadder when the realization hits that the think that took him was called a hoax, fake, not serious, and not a problem by a supposed friend. I pray for peace for his family. PreventableDeath coronavirus
died of shame having a best friend like Trump more like
Fake news?
Love the comments. I’m sad for the fellow but saw the humour.
Why? It’s like the regular flu? You can go to work with covid!
Trump has no friends
Well, money won't save anybody but more kindness will.
Wait,, Trump has a friend? And he’s from NY? I call Ripley’s
impossible...no one can be a friend of trump...fake news
omg
Thank Trump.
Rip
I wonder if this is the friend Trump referenced when he said a friend of his had the virus.
Have they met, recently? Did they firmly shake hands?
This is fake news. Trump doesn’t have any friends.
He has sacrificed his own friend at the altar of his re-election.
Rip 🙏
I’m sad to hear of this death. It’s a tragedy. May he Rest In Peace.
Died of a hoax. How embarrassing.
everything trump touches dies.
Some pretty disgusting heartless comments on here from you angry full of hate liberals !
I just hope he had a chance to spend a few hours w his good friend before dying.
Is there any chance he was a good guy despite knowing corrupt Yrump? My spidey-Schadenfreude sense doubts it...

Trump to try come with various mechanisms or else he will continue loosing his allies
