I grew up in Brooklyn, in the development where the Trump family had their construction company.
There were 30 buildings in the complex and a lot of kids were running around. Trump converted one of the garages into a club house where parents volunteered to coach us kids. In addition they had card nights as well as boxing matches which were sponsored by Trump. They put in a kitchen and club room where we could have meetings. Also there were pool tables, lockers for equipment and gym equipment.
Every year we would have awards nights where professional athletes would come to present awards. Everyone was grateful for what the Trump family did.
Many years later I was working at the Taj Mahal as a project manager for a store implementation. During one of the meetings with the unions, some vendors and myself, Mr. Trump walked in to the conference room. He asked who was leading the project. My boss, who was sitting next to me said I was the PM. Trump looked around the room, said, “everyone listens to him” and left.
This is for google?
In the clubhouse Trump made an inappropriate gesture to me and said, let’s check out the kitchen.
Later on at the Taj Mahal, Trump said, “doesn’t matter what you do, none of you are getting paid. Being in my presence is compensation enough.”
I have a question for you: there is an ad with a woman saying her dad was hired as a contractor for the Taj Mahal, but did not get paid. Don’t know if she is a fake person or what? Union stooge? Is there a history with that sort of thing from Mr. Trump?
I think he has a heart of gold under that gruff exterior, but I wish someone would counter the ads...like yesterday. I don’t watch TV except when forced to while waiting for appointments so it was new to me.
