"...Trump repeatedly said he would alienate his wealthy friends if he actually becomes president and cleans up government. But it's worth it, he said. "They come to me and they say, 'We would like you to use such and such a company -- he's helped your friends,'" Trump said. "I don't care if he's helped my friends. I have no friends as far as I'm concerned.
You know who my friends are? You're my friends." Trump won big applause with that line....." Source
Most of Donald Trump's Political Money Went To Democrats - Until 5 Years Ago: "Well, if I ever ran for office, I'd do better as a Democrat than as a Republican," Donald Trump told Playboy in 1990. "And that's not because I'd be more liberal, because I'm conservative.
But the working guy would elect me. He likes me."
"....[Trump's] $100,000 gift from Trump to the Boehner-allied super PAC was twice as big as his next-biggest contributions. [Trump's] given $50,000 .. to Karl Rove's American Crossroads (2010) [and $50,000 to] the pro-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Kentuckians for Strong Leadership (2013)... Open Secrets
And then Trump gave McConnell's PAC another $10,000 in Nov 2014. Donald Trump: Federal Contributions to Republican Candidates and PACs, 1989 - present

April 2011: Trump: I'm worth whatever I feel [deposition during lawsuit that Trump brought]
".. Trump: My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with the markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings, but I try.
Ceresney: Let me just understand that a little. You said your net worth goes up and down based upon your own feelings?
Trump: Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day ...
Ceresney: When you publicly state a net worth number, what do you base that number on?
Trump: I would say it's my general attitude at the time that the question may be asked. And as I say, it varies.

Trump ["Art of the Deal"]: The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.
I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion. Source
Yeah....and take them with you when you go to hell.....
The only good mooselimb is a dead mooselimb.
Business associates, of course. He does business in the mid-east. And he’s not going to name those. Use common sense.
What a stupid article...anti-Trump people really getting low in their desperation. Why would Trump put out friends names to a vicious media and their cohorts? Get a life!
Matt 18: 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Why would Trump want to drag private people into this political arena?
