experienced and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved
this with less money than any of his opponents.
Keeping in mind that 90% of start up
businesses fail, Trump's record of enterprise is nothing short of amazing.
Donald Trump has enjoyed success in at
least 11 very different enterprises: Professional football, Ice Skating rinks,
Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines, Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear,
Bicycle races, world class beauty contests, and many others. In some of these,
such as model management, his firm has risen to the top of that particular
industry.

that bear his name.
- The largest private
real estate development in New York is Trump Riverside. If you drive down the Henry Hudson Blvd. - you can't miss them.

Trump Plazas.
- There are at least 11
Trump Golf Course developments
- And much, much, more in
real estate.
- Trump Entertainment,
casinos and resorts was recently sold to Carl Ichan.

managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink project in the early 1980's is

The Political Trump:
about 1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald Reagan)
2012 - Present - Republican
Donald Trump was openly supportive of
Mitt Romney's candidacy.
Donald Trump does not seem to hold
political party organizations in high regard.
For the most part, his political
involvement has been for practical reasons.
Donald Trump does not appear to be held
to political ideology.
Some of my take aways:
- Trump has an
extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much like Teddy Roosevelt
but more targeted to industry and enterprise.
- Trump's presidency will
be very energetic, transparent, and communicative.
- Trump will be a very
hard working President.
- His interaction with
his older brother (who everybody loved) tells me that he thinks that
everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should be.
- His relationship with
his older brother was a hard lesson in tolerance for him.
- Trump is the Babe Ruth
of career achievements.
- He is dumb like a fox.
When you think he just said something stupid - he didn't. It's just that
you were not his target audience.
- Trump knows the people
- the folk.
- His son, Donald Jr. is
right. Trump is a "Blue Collar Billionaire".
- More than anything, his
TV show, The Apprentice,
was his passion. He wants all Americans to have confidence (like he does)
to venture.
- Donald Trump is
attracted to and marries smart, high achieving women.
- The highest levels of a
Trump Administration is certain to have many women - and they will be
bright and assertive.
- Donald Trump's children
are very important to him. And it shows.
PS. We will NEVER know even a
fraction about Obama as we already know about Trump because Obama has had all of
his records sealed. He apparently has a
lot of things in his past he does not want anybody to know. His SECOND term is almost over and we don’t
know hardly a thing about him.
