^ Yes- me too!! It is sort of funny, while people are always making fun of him and putting him down, he just plays everybody for fools and gets his piece of the pie every time!! It's one of those 'Who is really the stupid one here' situations...:wink:

Miss Universe update...

Could Bret Michaels be any busier?
He's appearing on tomorrow night's live America's Got Talent results show.
And now Donald Trump has just announced that Bret will be co-hosting the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant with Today's Natalie Morales, live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Aug. 23 (9-11 p.m. ET) on NBC. Orianthi, John Legend and The Roots will perform live during the competition.

"It doesn't get hotter than being in Las Vegas during the month of August," said Trump in a release. "Add more than 80 of the world's most beautiful women converging to compete for the crown of Miss Universe ... Las Vegas is going to be scorching hot!"

Here we go again...maybe these people can make a deal with the lawyers filing the same lawsuits for the never built Trump Baja in Mexico- where the millions in deposits disappeared before the building was cancelled...Interesting how the biggest, most successful projects ever are all Trump's doing, and all the many that go bad, he had really nothing to do with.... :innocent:

Donald Trump sued by buyers who say he inflated prices of New York City Soho apartments

The Donald trumped his SoHo Grand with great fanfare on the last episode of The Apprentice in 2006, but condo buyers now say he snookered them.

Lawyers for 15 buyers contend Trump lied about how many of the units were sold in a federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan Tuesday morning.
They claim Trump and his three famous children owe the buyers millions after claiming the condo/hotel was as much as 60% sold, when only 15% of the units have been sold.
The buyers want the $175 million they put down for deposits, punitive damages - and to get out of the purchase contracts.
The Trumps, according to the lawsuit, told buyers the 46-story hotel on Spring Street that opened in April was much more popular that it actually is.
"The defendant's false, deceptive and misleading statements were aimed at inducing consumers to enter into purchase agreements," the lawsuit says.
"Had the defendants not engaged in these fraudulent and deceptive practices, the plaintiffs would not have entered into their purchase agreements, would not have made their initial deposits, and would not have made their additional deposits."
The 391 units start at more than $1 million for a small studio - and go up from there.
"The Trump Organization is not the developer of the project but merely the manager of the hotel, which has done exceedingly well since opening four months ago," Trump said in a statement to Reuters.
"Despite this, I know that numerous people have closed on their units and this case is simply a matter of buyers' remorse."
Donald Trump, his three children, and the project's "sponsor" - an company owned by Trump and two business partners - are all named in the 180-page lawsuit.
The building is "a signature project of Trump's three children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, who have both an equity interest in the project and have publicly used the project to try to establish some independent credibility in the real estate business beyond their mere status as Trump's children," the lawsuit says.
"The Sponsor and its affiliates and sales agents - the defendants - stood to make substantial profits if large numbers of the Condominium Units could be sold, but could face disaster if they went unsold," the suit added.​

Here's an interesting fact..I have wondered about this for a long time, and an aviation website finally came up with the story...:innocent:
(BTW- his beautiful helicopter that is seen on The Apprentice all the time- he always talks about how he spent $14 million for it; it is actually owned by a leasing company in California, he doesn't even own it...:(rolleyes:

It struck me funny that it’s Trump’s plane, because the callsign is VP-BDJ. All US registered planes begin with “N”. The “VP” designation means it’s registered in a British Overseas Territory.
There are loads of photos of VP-BDJ – and it’s a beaut. The shining colors belie the age of this airplane, first delivered to American Airlines back in 1968!
My question: Why is this plane, Donald Trump’s plane, registered outside the United States? It seems to be based at LaGuardia Airport in New York. I hope it’s maintained there… crewed there… certified there… taxed there. I suspect it’s not.

He has his plane registered in the Cayman Islands a “British Overseas Territory”

^ Well, Donald is very smart and knows all the angles- anyone who thinks he and his father could have made hundreds of millions of dollars building in NYC and Brooklyn without some 'bending' of the rules is kidding themselves...:innocent:
His father was nearly ruined in a scandal using Federal money for building projects, doing things like leasing his own construction equipment to his own projects at ten times the going rate- things like that... Let's just say that Donald learned well... :wink:
 
Perez Hilton on Donald's latest business idea...rule number one: Always get someone else to put up the money so you have no risk at all!! :rolleyes:

You wouldn't think so, since he has million and millions of dollars.
But why spend your own money when you can get others to pay for you?
Trump Entertainment Resorts has decided to look into a hotel partner to assist in the renovations of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. The deal the company is prosing is kind of a switcheroo type thing.
Trump will hand over some useless, trashy property in exchance for another franchise, like Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood, paying for the renovations for said hole property. But, it would still retain the Trump namesake.
The Donald wouldn't have it any other way!
If we were these companies, we'd shy away from these deals. You know what kind of people go to Atlantic City? Old people and Snooki!
Do you really want your casino to smell of Poligrip and pickle vomit???

 
I probably need professional help, but I actually like their apartment!! :lol: :blush:
And I love how Baron's toy cars are all Mercedes and limousines!! Raising him to be a real Trump!! :P

^ That's what I always think of too!! You should have seen the original decor when Trump Tower first opened- very sleek and modern- you wouldn't ever guess it was his place- it was beautiful! They did a spread about it in Architectural Digest- I have it here somewhere....how things changed! It took them three years to redecorate- there are more than 50 rooms on three floors; not counting the garden on the roof....! :wink:

Tiffany looks a lot like Miley Cyrus?:unsure:
And her legs...very unfortunate considering how we've all become so used to seeing Ivanka's...
I thought legs were part of the Trump legacy!
 
^ I don't know what the situation is there...They live on the beach in Malibu, she is nearly as tall as Marla (5'8") and Marla is a health freak (as you can see)- all about working out, running on the beach and healthy foods, so why Tiffany wouldn't be lean and fit has always been a mystery.... :huh:

It's Donald's genes. If you look at all his children, their body shape take after his - even Ivanka.
 
^ Very good point- Donald Jr was starting to look like a bowling pin a couple of years ago!! :blink:
