the sensitive Donald
Carrie Prejean has been calling Donald Trump, who owns the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants, for advice on what she should do since she was fired as Miss California and a sex tape surfaced. Prejean -- a Christian who was vilified because she opposes gay marriage -- has lost all credibility and her reputation has been blown to shreds, Trump told one source. "Maybe," Mr. Trump said only half-jokingly, "she should become a major porn star, make millions of dollars, and give it to worthy causes."

Trump is the most hateful jealous lowlife on this planet Most will celebrate is downfall.He represents nothing good
Carrie, you don't need any advice from this loser. He would sell him daughter for publicity. In fact he did to a business partner. Imagine he sold his own daughter into slavery

Trump knows all about porn. Didn't his daughter Ivanka do a porn film a couple of years ago?

Donald Trump shouldn't comment on anything. He still has Jones Beach restaurant construction tied up as a no go.
It seems like age's that he stopped the building of a restaurant on Jones Beach because he couldn't have his own way.. Come on big shot, let the little people have a place in the sun..

Donald Trump is an Idiot
"Donald Trump hired a prominent Manhattan law firm to represent him in a lawsuit against a contractor who Mr. Trump claims overcharged him in the construction of a golf course. Now, Trump is suing the law firm claiming that they also overcharged him. Click here for a post from the Wall Street Journal Law Blog.
The quote that is making all the headlines is where the Donald says that he has "a Ph.D. in legal fees," and that he "knows when fees are fair and when they're not." The quote that I found interesting, however, is where he says "We won the case because I am a great witness."
I hate clients like that. Nothing that the lawyers did in three years of pretrial practice made any difference whatsoever. The Donald showed up, testified for thirty minutes at trial, and single-handedly won the case. Great job, Mr. Trump."

And what do people have to say about it?
Kathy (Agoura Hills California, USA) (Sep. 2009): “I explained to Bill Harford that I wished to invoke my right to cancel “Wealth Building Seminar” (within the three days) because I will not be able to attend the Wealth Building Weekend to be held March 27, 28 and 29 2009. At the time of signing up for this seminar I was assured that there would be closer locations and other dates to choose from in the near future. After reviewing the scheduled dates and times I found that there were no closer locations for this seminar... No credit was ever issued. I wrote again on Friday, May 22, 2009 requesting the credit that they promised. I am willing to partake in a class action lawsuit.”
Rosy (Windsor, Connecticut, U.S.A.): I attended one of Trumps free seminars on Saturday, February 9, 2009. I signed up for the 3 day seminar and paid more than $3000. After reading most of the information and making a few contacts, i realized that this was a scam. I immediately contacted the Trump Institute and returned the documents in the required time for me to get my full refund. They were confirmed as received on 2/20/09 and was promised a refund to my credit card within 10 business days. I have been calling to resolve the matter and to date, I still have not received my refund. I have documentation of the calls and the receipts and would like to know what else to do and how your office could help. I have all the information.
Biggrizzly12 (Massillon, OhioU.S.A.): “I signed up for the course with my wife at the end of July 2007. As it ended up, it has become more like a weekly conversation at an investor's meeting (simply payin $15000.00 to shoot the breeze for 14 weeks). The program is not structured at all. If I didnt have any topics to discuss the person on the other end of the line and myself would remain silent on the phone...One coach already quit over the stress with job of delivering empty dreams....Now if Trump really does not want his name associated with a bad operation, then he will go in and clean house. I wish to have a refund. I have given a great effort to make this program work and given Rosper every opportunity to make this work and it is failing......The idea of someone several states away giving empty advice at best from several time zones away just does not work. This program just needs to go away and call it a failed experiment....It bothered me when I found out Trump had never personally been out to Provo to have personal ontact with Rosper.”

REDICULOUS!
Trump’s lawsuit against the NY Times for calling him a "millionaire" instead of a "billionaire" had been dismissed.
Donald Trump's online business school - a ripoff
Fashion designer Tarla Makaeff - filed a class-action suit claiming she was guaranteed a one-year apprenticeship - and a personal real estate mentor that would be the "next best thing to being Donald Trump's next 'Apprentice.' Makaeff says she lost $80,000, including $34,995 for a "Trump Gold Elite membership." She was whacked on interest, financing, late fees, penalties and expenses. "I relied on the Trump name and Donald Trump's reputation as a real estate mogul," she told the Daily News. "I expected nothing less than the best. ... Big mistake."
A California businesswoman - Lured by the Trump name, she took bogus seminars at Trump University that destroyed her credit - and taught her almost nothing about real estate.

Aberdeenshire golf resort
Controversy over Donald Trump's planned Aberdeenshire golf resort - It was initially rejected by an Aberdeenshire Council committee, but later approved by the Scottish Government. local residents are strongly opposed it, and are refusing to sell their homes on the land where Trump Snr. plans to build a billion-pound resort which will feature two golf courses, a hotel and some 1,000 holiday homes.
As usual - what people say about our Goliath:
John Munro, lives at Leyton Cottage – “I have no plans to sell”
Robert Horne, wrote a comment – “Why can’t Trump just go ahead build his golf course and leave the 4 houses alone? He does not own the land nor do the 4 owners want to sell to him yet he persists in waving the CPO card. Why? Is it just to intimidate these people or to show just how big and arrogant a man he really is. They must be hoping the dust has settled before having another go. “
George Matthews, wrote a comment - "We just want to get on with the job" Of destroying a 4,000 year old ecosystem to replace it with houses and turf! Poor Trump International has such a hard time being resisted by local people who are desperate to keep their homes.”
Lord Lucan wrote a comment - An Englishman's home is his castle, A Scotsman's home is up for grabs by anyone with the money that can sweet talk a council.
Sean Ashley, wrote a comment – “Trump junior, reinforced the Trump Organization's desire and threat to use Compulsory Purchase Orders to evict the families, by stating in the Scotsman newspaper four months ago, “it is something that remains on the table”. They are a bunch of liars and would rob you of your last breath.”The kids did not learn about tradition, they were fooled by the Trump Organization into destroying a natural habitat.”
Bill Boggia, wrote a comment – “Lets hope that the Trumps don't commandeer more innocent school children to help them continue to vandalize a site of special scientific interest for a housing development that no one wants.”

Jones Beach catering hall
A judge has dismissed (August 2009) Donald Trump's lawsuit seeking $500 million in damages from the state for delays in building his planned Jones Beach catering hall and restaurant, but the developer plans to appeal.
and abraham is right, I should also voice other people:
Kimberly Wilder says (August 11, 2009 9:43 am): If you want to join the struggle to stop the Trump project and/or keep it to a fair size (and keep Jones Beach “for the people”, not just the fancy people with catered affairs) you can find some info and a group of neighbors at: http://ourjonesbeach.wordpress.com/ourjonesbeach at wordpress website
Jim Brown (jrb398 at yahoo) says (November 8 2008): “New York State initially asked for a small restaurant, 46,000 sq feet, to be built along the boardwalk at Jones Beach, a restaurant to serve the people. There is no reason why a restaurant/catering hall/souvenir shop extravaganza of 85,000 square feet should be built instead, to serve the rich, and to provide Donald Trump with ill-gained profit for 40 years. A catering hall which charges $500 per plate has no place on our premier oceanfront State Park. Trump’s development is an affront to the residents of Long Island and the entire State of New York, indeed his hubris is an affront to common decency. The legacy of Robert Moses on Long Island should not allowed to be trashed and destroyed by this ill-advised development scheme. Governor Paterson has the ability to halt this project and return Jones Beach to the people. I urge all those who love Jones Beach–and justice–to contact the Governor and demand that the Trump project be stopped. Yes, a small restaurant at Jones beach, to be enjoyed by the average beach goer would be welcomed, but not the monstrosity that Mr. Trump seems intent on building.”
Patricia Friedman, community activist –submitted a letter to the Governor and Attorney General at the end of April 2008 (the letter can be found at- http://ourjonesbeach.wordpress.com:80), then asked the community to make some noise with a protest at the Attorney General’s office.
The Scottish media learned of her battle against Trump on the Ocean when a Manhattan press agent working with opponents of Trump projects in Scotland called about what they say is a pattern of personal retaliation by Trump. (August 2008).

The Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico - you have to read to believe it
In 2006, Trump’s company was selling condo’s at Trump Ocean Resort Baja. Before construction on the property even began 188 units were sold for $122 million in one day at a December. Units for the Mexico property were selling for $300,000 to $3,000,000 and buyers had to put down 30%. In 2009, Trump removed his name from the property and the project has folded. The buyers were left with nothing. No property, no refund.
The sellers prevented significant information from the people who bought the units. There were many important details that were left out, as well as false information that was given. Buyers can’t be blamed for this! That is a civil issue! The buyers believed that the units were “Trumps property”, whereas Trump simply licensed his brand to another company. In fact, he wasn’t even an investor. In addition, the state of the company was not as good as the buyers were led to believe. They may have been able to demand their money back if only they had known so.
People who spoke against Trump in this case:
Anonimus – “After the Donald screwed thousands of investors and banks out of hundreds of millions in Atlantic City directly due to poor management, how can anyone believe in him?? The net, twitter etc., are fraught with schemes to get rich quick all fronted by the Donald. The only one that may prosper is, guess who, the Donald. I simply don’t trust him. If you are in the magnificent one’s presence watch your wallet.”
A group of seven individuals filed (March 2010) a $10M lawsuit against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and others for fraud, negligence, accounting and other counts. Their claims:
1. They were swindled by Trump. They were led to believe that Trump was directly involved when instead it was a licensing deal. The lawsuit produces evidence including newspaper stories to prove that the project was widely known as a Trump project and that Ivanka Trump and Donald J. Trump, Jr. attended key sales events for the project and announced that they would be purchasing units in the project.
2. Trump and the developer Irongate did not have financing and construction permits approved before the sales.
3. The site itself had contamination and mold issues.
4. There is an allegation that certain "favored" buyers were allowed to purchase without a deposit while others including the plaintiffs were forced to tender hefty sums before purchase.
Claims about the resort being located in a polluted area (December 2006) - North of Baja's Punta Bandera, 30 million gallons of sewage are discharged daily on the beach. Prospective buyers should be informed, so they can ask developers about health risks and sewage collection.

The Never-Built Trump Tower Tampa
30 individuals and companies filed (Nov. 2009) a joint lawsuit against The Trump Organization and Donald Trump, saying they were duped into thinking Trump was building the tower. Trump revealed in May 2007 he had only licensed his name for the tower and was not an actual member of the development team when he sued for more than $1 million he said SimDag/RoBEL owed him.
In January 2010, another flock of Floridians has joined a lawsuit against Donald Trump, alleging the New York real estate tycoon defrauded them of their deposits on the never-built Trump Tower Tampa. To recount, Trump licensed his name to developers of the proposed 52-story luxury condo tower in return for half the profits. But at the launch of the $300-million project in 2005 The Donald's braggadocio may have gotten the better of him. On at least one occasion he was quoted in the press suggesting he was a partner and developer in the project. In truth, Trump and Trump Co. were not partners or developers in Trump Tower, and had only sold the “Trump” name to use in inducing buyers to purchase units. The Plaintiffs all purchased units of various sizes with the understanding that they were buying a Trump development, when in actuality they were buying a project developed by SimDag/Robel, LLC. About 25 depositors sued Trump last fall. Lawyers updated paperwork to bring the plaintiff's total to 40 or thereabouts
David vs. Donald (Goliath) Trump
Being run over, flattened and left for dead by the well-oiled machine that is Donald Trump is not something anyone prepares you for.
It took me a while to muster up the gall and admit to myself that this is something I can’t fix, so the least I could do is prevent others from falling for the same tricks. Like the proverbial Wizard of Oz, Donald Trump is no more than a swindler hiding behind an expensive light-show, but the damage he inflicts is not in the dream world.
Above all else, it is the Trump dissonance that baffles me; the untrained eye sees a legitimate conglomerate with proper corporate governance and responsibility, but once you pierce this veil of deception, an entirely different picture emerges.
Although this is a classic David vs. Goliath; one blog vs. the well-oiled PR machine run by Trump himself, my will is to expose the true nature of Donald Trump using facts, not fiction, shedding light both on his personal and corporate misconduct.
