Sometimes I don't like people. And, you know, it doesn't bother me. The hard ones are when you really like somebody, really respect somebody and they make a mistake.
I think I understand life. I think I understand how to live. I'm enjoying my life. I don't really live in an as extravagant way as people think.
When I tell somebody to do something I'm not going to get a lobbyist calling me the next day to say please don't do that even though it's good for America.
I was in Moscow and I will tell you - you can get along with those people and get along with them well. You can make deals with those people. Obama can't.
One of the things that I heard for years and years, never drive Russia and China together. And Obama has done that.
You have Obama that wants to play golf instead of deal with people.
I love what I am doing. I have a wonderful business. I have a wonderful television show that's doing - continues to do phenomenally in the ratings. I mean, it's been really a lot of fun.
I stand by whatever I read from Univision.
I've never once in my life known a person who was successful who didn't have a big ego. Ego's not a bad thing.
New York is eating young geniuses [businessmen] up alive. It's eating them up alive, Stone. And it's showing the beauty of the city, but it's showing the toughness and the viciousness of the city.
I don't think I changed a lot although I learned a lot. Adversity can be a wonderful teacher. Some people can't handle the pressure of it. For me it was a great thing. I learned about myself going through tough times. I guess I learned well.
Life is actually a series of tests. It's a social test, a happiness test, a business success test. You'd like to get A's in all of them.
My father built low- and moderate-income housing in Queens and Brooklyn. I learned a lot from him. But I went in a different direction. I built Trump Tower in Manhattan, the most luxurious building in the world. It's not going to be easy for my son, but maybe it shouldn't be easy. Life is, after all, a test.
Somebody's got to do it [being Donald Trump]. It's different. It's difficult. There are a lot of wonderful things about it, but always being under scrutiny isn't one of them.
