Real estate, TV and now, a (Talking Trump) doll (or is it an "action figure?")
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 9.29.04 | RENÉE DEGROSS

In case you haven't had enough of Donald Trump just yet, get ready for the talking Trump doll.

The Donald himself will unveil the novelty gift today at a marketing event at the Times Square Toys "R" Us in New York.

The new talking Trump doll, made by Stevenson Entertainment Group, joins a growing list of products unveiled recently, including the Trump game by Hasbro and a new Estee Lauder Donald Trump fragrance.

Yes, fragrance. It is said to combine aromas of mint, cucumber, pepper and wood.

The doll — dressed in a suit with a white shirt and red tie — hits shelves this week and will set you back $27. That's nearly double the price of Barbie as Halle Berry in "Catwoman."

While it may cost more than some Barbies, the Trump doll speaks 17 phrases, said Toys "R" Us spokeswoman Colleen Cleary. And yes, one of them is "you're fired."

Trump is a truly pathetic figure. He puts on this big persona but I bet he is one of the most insecure people in the world.

We don't have Martha Stewart, so we are left with Donald Trump the King Of Trumping Through Life. TM

With that hair? It's a doll.

GWB has an "action figure" but a Trump mini-me is a doll.

I can't believe they are making this guy into some kind of hero. Ugh! Someone should interview the contractors he ripped off when he built the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.

maybe The Donald will do battle against his old nemesis, The Garrison Keillor Action Figure!

Why? Maybe the same reasons that Paris Hilton has to try to make a celebrity of herself --- it makes me wonder if either is really very wealthy because both seem desperate for money. But they could just be egomaniacs that want to be celebrities even without talent for much else.

Trump is a hack. He is not a self made man as he would like the world to believe.

He got started on daddy's cash and the reason he did not go belly up years ago can be summed up by the following..

'When a person defaults on a $10,000 loan he has a problem. When a person defaults on a $10,000,000 loan the bank has a problem'
