Another lawsuit? Who is his target now?
This was a great press conference!

Fight Back
Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation. In most cases I’m very easy to get along with. I’m very good to people who are good to me. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is that you’ll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don’t recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in— even if it means alienating some people along the way— things usually work out for the best in the end.
When the city unfairly denied me, on Trump Tower, the standard tax break every developer had been getting, I fought them in six different courts. It cost me a lot of money, I was considered highly likely to lose, and people told me it was a no-win situation politically. I would have considered it worth the effort regardless of the outcome. In this case, I won— which made it even better.
When Holiday Inns, once my partners at the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, ran a casino that consistently performed among the bottom 50 percent of casinos in town, I fought them very hard and they finally sold out their share to me. Then I began to think about trying to take over the Holiday Inns company altogether.
Even if I never went on the offensive, there are a lot of people gunning for me now. One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people— I categorize them as life’s losers— who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

Any comments about Cruz ..??
Thank you, Helicondelta
You do us a good service finding and posting these articles!
God bless Donald Trump and keep him safe.
God bless America and keep her safe as well.
Trump is full of hot air.
He’s given money to Planned Parenthood, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and several other democrats.
And now, suddenly he wants to be the greatest conservative since Ronald Reagan.
I, for one, refuse to be fooled.
There is only one candidate running that can be TrusTed!
Cruz!
?????????????????????????????????????????
That’s the same Holiday Inns he delighted in his knowingly allowing to them believe false project status information in order to get more investment money from them.
Hey, he’s making it up to them by staying in Holiday Inn Express during this week in South Carolina! ;-)
From his press conference in reference to congress’ latest budget deal...Trump says Obama is the worst negotiator with everyone except the Republicans.
Lol...he’s right.
Yep, that was a good Q&A. Unless your a cruz supporter.
Well that was amazing! To hear that amount of candor, straight-talk, no-BS answers in a press conference is unprecedented. Name one President who has even come close...
D. Trump was a businessman, not a politician. He got along with everybody. If you don’t know how to get along with people, you will not make it.
A lot of people here don’t want the facts...although I’m sure you know that already.
Any comments about Cruz ..??Are you audio and video challenged?
What nonsense.
Don Trump walked all over people to get what he wanted. Did he get along with the lady who didn’t want to sell her place? No. He attempted to use the powers of Eminent Domain to bulldoze her home for more parking.
Trump tries to buy everyone off. How many democrats have received contributions from Trump?
How many GOP candidates defend Planned Barrenhood?
Trump, while a successful businessman is not a nice person. He’s a bully and a blabbermouth.
No thanks.
I’ll stick with a real conservative who has proven time and time again that he can be trusTed...Cruz.
A lie: “Trump walked all over people to get what he wanted.”
It is amazing Trump can call a presser and MSM goes running!!! Why doesn’t JEBBIE just call a presser??? Oh never mind NO ONE would pay attention LOL!!!!
