^I kind of want to see a debate between him and Sarah Palin during the primaries.
^ It would be entertaining!! Bill O'Riley almost had him going last week, trying to get him down to specifics about how he would accomplish everything he says he would do; at this point, there doesn't seem to be much beyond his "No one would take advantage of us, I'd kick their a**" and so on...

This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder how he can ever seriously think of running...There are dozens (hundreds?) of articles like this just waiting to be written- his honesty and 'sincerity' would be brought into question overnight, and this sort of thing would be the least of his worries...

A little about Donald's 'pit bull', Michael Cohen.

Tried of that crummy old 727 Donald flies around in? Well, suffer no more! Here's 'his' 'new' Boeing 757!! Fit for a Presidential candidate!! It's huge! The BEST! Many people are saying it is the biggest EVER!! It is being customized right now, and I am sure there will be endless fanfare when the 'new' plane is introduced!!...Except that the plane is 20 years old next month and owned by a corporation in Delaware, but whatever, meaningless details...Nice to know people's contributions to a possible Trump White House run will be going toward fuel for a $10,000 an hour flying status symbol!!

Billionaire Donald Trump speaking to a crowd at the 2011 Palm Beach County Tax Day Tea Party on April 16, 2011 at Sanborn Square in Boca Raton, Florida. Trump is considering a bid for the 2012 presidency and is expected to announce his running in the coming weeks.

One more reason the Republicans feel queasy about Donald...
Recent stories have pointed out Donald Trump’s proclivity for donating large amounts of money to candidates for federal office. However, the total he has donated to New York State campaign committees since 1999 – $595,636.66 – is close to the amount he has given at the federal level since 1990 – $708,500. This massive amount has been made possible by New York’s loophole-ridden campaign finance laws, which let individuals give massive amounts. State campaign finance records show that $395,391.66 of this money has gone to Democrats, compared to $172,150 to Republicans.

^Not surprised. Maybe if he runs he'll run as an independent?

^ Excellent! I was always amazed at what a puzzle is he...At the casino, I knew people who dealt with him almost every day, including his bodyguards, and their stories sounded almost as if he had several different personalities...A (supposed, at least) womanizing stud who would not think of doing a sit up, losing some of his substantial girth or dressing stylishly; a high class penthouse dweller who traveled by limo and private jet and abused one and all with the foulest mouth this side of the Brooklyn waterfront; a proper patron of the 21 Club with his own reserved table who thought nothing of pulling into a rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike and scarfing down three cheeseburgers and a huge milkshake; the guy is just very hard to understand! Even his close 'friends' seem to have no idea what he is really up to with this Presidential deal- and that is no doubt exactly what he wants! 
I love how he brags about how many jobs he has created (true), but when I was with him one of the business magazines did a survey of 500 companies in the hospitality industry and Trump came in 499 out of the 500...The people who work for him are used and abused like no others in the business...so much of the 'success image' is just smoke and mirrors...

The presidential tease claims to be worth billions. But when he sued a biographer for libel, he couldn't prove it
Donald Trump's impressive performance last week at the top of polls of Republican presidential candidates has ensured that the hype machine is still running hard for the real estate mogul -- even if most serious political observers don't believe the man has any real intention of running.
But it sure would be nice if the Donald did officially put his hat in the ring, because then we might finally get an answer to a vexing mystery: How rich is he? All presidential candidates have to release a financial disclosure form; Trump's would be one of the most interesting to come down the pike in many years.
Just this weekend, he boasted on CNN that his net worth was "many, many, many times Mitt Romney." (Romney's net worth, according to the disclosure report he filed in 2007, is between $190 million and $250 million.) Elsewhere Trump has repeatedly claimed to be worth 4 or 5 billion -- a figure that rises and falls with the stock market, the economy and his own "feelings."
But in 2005, New York Times reporter Timothy O'Brien claimed that Trump's actual net worth was between $150 million and $250 million, an accusation that definitely hurt Trump's feelings (that's Romney territory!). Trump promptly sued O'Brien for libel.
A New Jersey judge tossed the suit in 2009, leaving the world in a sad state of ignorance as to the true state of Trump's affairs. The only hard tidbit to emerge from the case -- the Wall Street Journal reported that in 2005 Deutsche Bank had assessed Trump's net worth at $788 million -- or about three times Romney.
By most American standards, whether Trump is worth $150 million or $6 billion might seem irrelevant -- he's still rich. The more interesting question is just how good a businessman Trump is. His career has been full of wild swings and bankruptcies and desperate corporate restructurings. When markets fall and recessions hit, Trump tends to run into big trouble. One might well ask, is that the kind of person who should steer the United States through an uncertain economic future?

This is a good one- the first of many interviews that will make him squirm!! It is most interesting that he had nothing to do with running the casinos, since my friend Lynne had to arrange transportation for him (helicopter and limousine) several times a week for years, he had two full time bodyguards just for Atlantic City and a permanent duplex apartment at the Trump Marina hotel, which was a convenient place for him to stash Marla for afternoon "visits"...What a liar...
