The Trump kids - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Dr. Shon Thomson** · 03-02-2006, 01:27 AM

I don´t see much TV and only rarely American TV but I did recently catch a short interview with Donald Trump´s children. I imagine these two will eventually take over their father´s business... which will of course mean that they´ll have quite an influence, architecturally speaking, on NYC and elsewhere. What´s the dirt on these two? Smart kids? Spoiled brats? They seemed intelligent and very polished. His daughter was low-key modern looking... nothing like her shoulder padded mom. Despite the Donaldish light blue tie & shirt combo, the son seemed cool. I wonder what kind of decisions they´ll make.

**autolubitelone** · 03-02-2006, 02:42 AM

I remember watching a program once about Trump where he claimed he made every attempt not to spoil his kids. Apparently his son often had to borrow money from friends while at college to pay for standard expenses.

**67Irralphaisa** · 03-02-2006, 02:45 AM

If that's true I admire that.

**vicgirl** · 03-02-2006, 04:56 AM

Although I am married, I crave Ivanka. She's young, hot and rich. What a combination.

I remember watching a program once about Trump where he claimed he made every attempt not to spoil his kids. Apparently his son often had to borrow money from friends while at college to pay for standard expenses. And I'm sure most of them reminded him of his last name and said "you've absolutely got to be kidding".

**Snuddyentaine** · 03-09-2006, 10:05 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump was hyper stingy with his kids when it comes to money, not considering how callous he is when it comes to charitable giving. The most his foundation has ever given in a year is what, like $350K? Check this guy out - for him supposedly being a billionaire, he is the modern day Mr. Scrooge.

Forbes says he's a billionaire ...

Gates fortune hits 50 billion dollars as megawealth spreads

Bill Gates increased his lead at the top of the megarich ranking as the world's wealthiest people added 400 billion dollars to their net worth, according to Forbes magazine's annual list.

The number of people whose wealth reached 10 figures stood at a record 793, an increase of 102 from the previous year, with Microsoft founder Gates in first place for the 12th straight year...

Newcomers to the top 10 chart included the French luxury retailer Bernard Arnault who made seventh spot with 21.5 billion dollars, and Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing in 10th place with 18.8 billion dollars.

Hind Hariri, the 22-year-old daughter of slain Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri, beat out Germany's Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis by eight months for the title of the world's youngest billionaire.

At the other end of the age spectrum was American John Simplot, 96, who made his fortune processing potatoes...

New York has the highest number of resident billionaires with 40, Moscow is second with 25 and London third with 23.

Dude, I agree totally. Trump says he's got the dough. The man should spread it around some. Even then I can't believe he maxed out as low as $350,000 in a single year.

The Donald should be ashamed of himself.

**Dr.Hoodoba** · 03-10-2006, 06:36 AM

Thanks for the kudos, Andrew. Or, the agreement anyway!

Trump, check it man, the more I see and read and hear of this man the more respect I lose for him.

I'm telling you: Read O'Brien's book "Trump Nation." It'll make your head spin and your skin crawl. I love that even though Trump was claiming billions in assets, he Regulaotors in Jersey were claiming Trump didn't have enough cash to support his casino companies. Their report said that Trump's Organization was really hurting.

Of course, since it seems Trump doesn't have the money he claims he has, maybe that IS why Trump stiffed his kids while they were in college!

**w4WBthjv** · 03-11-2006, 07:27 PM

Trump stiffed his kids while they were in college!

Only a spoiled kid would think that not being given everything he wanted or needed meant being stiffed.

Kudos to Donald for doing the right thing and assuring the future happiness of his kids. Few things promote lifelong misery as effectively as being spoiled.

**RemiVedia** · 03-11-2006, 09:18 PM

Did any of you see Ivanka on The Apprentice the other night? She looked delicious!

**Deribasov** · 03-11-2006, 10:15 PM

Kudos to Donald for doing the right thing and assuring the future happiness of his kids. Few things promote lifelong misery as effectively as being spoiled.

I'm not saying Trump should give his kids everything. I'm simply saying it makes more sense for the allegedly loaded father of a college student to help pay for necessities, especially when his son is having to borrow from friends. Make sense?

Anyway, the real argument I was making is that I was not at all surprised to hear Trump was stingy with his kids, considering how ridiculously stingy he has been with charitable giving. Do you believe that Trump is "doing the right thing and assuring the future happiness" of those in need - when he is stiffing folks concerning charity?

Or do you feel someone of Trump's stature should not be giving much in charity? Does being charitable hurt Trump's self-made image as a once bankrupt, mover and shaker, with a heart of stone?

**jacknates** · 03-12-2006, 12:32 AM

^ Obviously you don't like the man. You have plenty of company. He's often obnoxious, and combined with success, that brings out resentment.

Didn't know that Trump had opened his own University: http://www.trumpuniversity.com/index.cfm

But, alas ...

Can I earn college credits or a degree by taking courses from Trump University?

Trump University does not offer credits or degrees.

**Qauunet** · 03-12-2006, 07:22 PM

"The Smoking Gun" has got the goods: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/trumpcheap1.html

Yes, indeed, the good old smoking gun comes to rescue the truth. Thanks for bringing that up, lofter1.

Trump is as cheap as they come, for a man of his purported wealth. Per capita, I can guarantee I give one helluva lot more to charity than Trump does. In fact, I bet most Americans do.

Just noticed you quoted me on the forum and stated that Forbes says Trump is a billionaire. Good for Forbes! Those types always stick together. All I can say is that everyone who really wants the nitty gritty on Trump should read "Trump Nation." The man is a paper tiger and the "paper" ain't all green.

**Afigenatjola** · 03-15-2006, 10:08 PM

[quote=BigGreen]Yes, indeed, the good old smoking gun comes to rescue the truth. Thanks for bringing that up, lofter1.

Wait until the Smoking Gun gets down to business about how Trump hired Anthony Pellicano, that publicity nut PI, to tap Marla Maples phone. Pellican just got charged last month with wiretapping Stallone and that Kung Fu guy Carradine. He also bribed a policeman to give him all kinds of dirt on Hollywood types.

When the Smoking Gun gets down to the facts on Trump's use of this Dirtbag Pellicano to tap Maples' phone, The Donald may be in a world of hurt.

**kKFB1BxX** · 03-16-2006, 02:30 AM

ouch ^ now who's fired?

**wJswn5l3** · 03-16-2006, 02:32 AM

My bud lives out in Swarzenegger country and he told me about Pellicano getting nailed for spying on Stallone and some others. Dude, It ain't going to be pretty.

Hadn't heard about Trump playing with Pellicano, but Are you really surprised Trump hired this guy to bug Maples phone? Does Trump do anything on the up and up anything legit anymore?

**curcercanty** · 03-23-2006, 06:00 PM

ouch ^ now who's fired?

Very good!

Seems this Private Eye was hit with these illegal wiretapping charges just before he was due to be released from prison on explosives charges. I guess Donald Trump really does only hire the best and the cleanest and the most professional types to do his dirty work.
