I make a great deal of money from 40 Wall St.. Aside from owning the most beautiful building in lower Manhattan, I have the added attraction of owning a particularly lucrative one.
The golf facet of my life doesn't go with the rest of my life, which is a rough-and-tumble life. I work in real estate development, which is the toughest business, and I do it in the toughest city. I deal with ruthless people.
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.
All my life I've dealt with politicians. I know politicians better than anybody. And honestly, if you can't deal with a politician, there's something wrong with you.
Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals. Preferably big ones.
I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.
I don't know one Jewish person that doesn't want to have a deal, a good deal, a proper deal, but a really good deal.
I've dealt with politicians my entire life. You never make a bad deal with a politician. They're so easy.
Everything I do in life is framed through the view of a businessman. That's my instinct. If I go into a pharmacy to buy shaving cream, then I'm going to look for the best deal on shaving cream.
You learn their honesty, you learn their competitiveness. You learn a lot about a person. It's not that they have to sink the putt and there's a great deal of talent involved - but you do learn about how competitive a person is on the golf course, and frankly, how honest.
I think that you are going to have to spend a great deal of money in order to get elected, ... especially coming out of the Reform Party, which has a big disadvantage, because it hasn't been there very long. If I spend the money, I think I could win.
If you have to lie, cheat, and steal, you're just not doing it right, ... My career is a model of tough, fair dealing and fantastic success - without shortcuts, without breaking the law.
We feel (Trump National) is better than Pebble Beach. We have had some people out who are very familiar with Pebble Beach. Most people consider (Trump National) to be substantially superior.
