And the signs lining the stairs are so cool. Gosh I hope he takes Ohio.
Just a little excerpt from a newspaper story about Swifton Village, the story Trump tells about his time in Ohio:
“Roy Knight, who worked maintenance at Swifton Village in the 1960s, remembered the father and son always visited the 1,200-unit complex on Tuesdays to supervise its revitalization. In the eight years under Trump ownership, occupancy in the complex rose from 66 percent to 100 percent.
“He sent his son, 25-year-old business school whiz Donald Trump, to Cincinnati to manage the property,” the Enquirer archives note.
“When they bought this place from the government, there were 400 units rented and 800 vacant. In less than two years, there wasn’t a vacancy,” Knight recalled in 1990.
He said Donald Trump “wasn’t skilled,” but often flew in for a few days at a time to help with landscaping and other menial duties around the complex.
Trump was a “nice, presentable young man,” Knight said. “He didn’t joke or make the fool.”
Vote Trump!
