In a ballroom at the Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Saturday night, hedge-fund manager Paul Tudor Jones considered which presidential contender would be best for the Everglades, the state’s swath of tropical wetlands and forest he’s worked for more than 20 years to restore.
"I sent Trump a package," Jones said in an interview, declining to elaborate on its contents. He was standing beside a dinner table covered with ferns and orchids at the Everglades Foundation annual benefit. "I haven’t had a chance to talk to him. I think it’s an issue he’d be really good at."
