The author is an ignorant liar. As a New Yorker since the early 70s (well, a Manhattanite) I can tell you Trump never had a reputation like that. His reputation was as a builder first of glitzy buildings and a guy who had several marriages to blond women second. He had a pretty long marriage to Ivana and most of the tabloids had to do with them going to society parties hosted by Brooke Astor, the gilding of General Sherman on 5th Avenue and the purchasing of The Plaza Hotel. We all worried he was going to paint it gold! He did not. Of course, his affair with Marla made the papers for a while but he did the right thing with her as well. But first and foremost, he was known as a brash builder. He was also off the pages of the two NYC tabloids for years at a time. The lies about this man are out of control and no one seems interested in combating them.
Thank God for his twitter account.
Well, the one thing he DID always have was a big mouth. Also forgotten in all the hate is how all of these big networks used to use him as a pundit.
You cannot be a billionaire playboy and make the billion dollars yourself through your own hard work.
It's hard work building anything at a cost that is less than it's fair market value. Every chickenshit construction company, worker, supplier, zoning and licensing official is out to take you to the cleaners for more than all you are worth.
Just try getting someone to fix your kitchen sink and multiply that experience by 100,000,000.
Playboy my ass. Someone with the instincts of a mafioso hit-man, I would buy. But lazy drunken (oh he doesn't drink) womanizer, Hah!
“As a New Yorker since the early 70s (well, a Manhattanite) I can tell you Trump never had a reputation like that.
I agree with this wholly. I’ve been studying this man since 88. He’s respected, loved and isn’t ever thought of a clown. He’s an achiever and focuses on accomplishment more than anything else.
His marriage to Ivana was fairytale. That woman meant the most to him, and she was like his equal. Intelligent, confident and full of accomplishment herself. She owns half his company and takes $1 per year alimony. (Which is likely why the tax forms weren’t released)
Quora is a forum full of utter idiocy. I had to join up once to ask a question and I regret it daily.
I don’t remember him as the article described, either.
