The Real Story on Donald Trump

On “The Apprentice,” Donald Trump is the guy who fires people. In real life, it’s a different story.

For 16 years, Anthony “Tony” P. Senecal was Trump’s personal butler at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home and club in Palm Beach, Fla. Few people know Trump as well as Senecal. During the first interview Senecal has given since retiring last year, he told Newsmax what it was like to work for him.

As an employer, Trump is both demanding and loyal, Senecal says. Senecal lists three things that none of Trump’s more than 20,000 employees should do: “You don’t steal from him; you don’t lie to him; and you don’t embarrass him.”

Trump Tower Got Its Start With Undocumented Foreign Workers
FEB 26 2016

" ... Donald told me that he was having his difficulties and he admitted to me that — seeking my advice — that he had some illegal Polish employees on the job," Daniel Sullivan testified. "I reacted by saying to Donald that 'I think you are nuts.'"

"I told him to fire them promptly if he had any brains," Sullivan added.

Under oath at the trial, Trump was asked if he recalled when he learned of the unpaid workers. "I really don't," he said.

Asked when he knew they were undocumented, he said, "I really still don't know that."

Sullivan, who has since died, told NBC News in 1989 that Trump's pleadings of ignorance were not to be believed.

"Donald's lying. Flat out," he said.

In 1991, the federal district court sided with the union dissidents and found there was a conspiracy to deprive the pension funds of hundreds of thousands of dollars. An appellate court overturned that decision and ordered new proceedings.

The union lawsuit was eventually settled for an undisclosed sum, but the Polish workers were never a part of it and didn't collect.

Years later, Trump Tower still looms large in its builder's personal story. It was the natural place for him to launch his campaign, with his daughter, Ivanka, introducing him as a fierce negotiator who could make impossible deals a reality.

"[He] has the discernment to understand what the other party needs," she said, "and then get exactly what he wants."

Good article. But this is not the first time I read that Trump likes his steaks well-done. Sacrilege!

Now he's not going to lose my vote over it but he's going to have to come over to my place and have a steak done proper. Medium rare with sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic and roasted jalapenos in olive oil on the side.

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Thanks, that is a really great story. I enjoyed reading it a lot! It is too bad that the people who work with Cruz do not share a similar sentiment.
