RE: Donald Trump at National Achievement Conference-Australia (09/28/2011)

_____________________________________________________________

Event Details: Donald Trump at the National Achievement Conference in Australia on September 28, 2011.

Attendees/Audience: Conference attendees

Press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UL1MNCL7bU

Summary of Event: Event seemed like a business conference of some sort. Trump said a lot of crazy things, about his business dealings, Australia being better than America, women, trade with China and Japan, giving himself awards, not paying debts, screwing people back who screw you, and knowing when it’s over and to give up.

Key Points:

01:50 I should have been paid more money for this! I made a terrible deal. I should do what baseball players do and re-negotiate. Jennifer is such a wonderful woman. Women have always been tough on me.

03:00 I just got off a plane for 22 hours. I love to teach, I’m very honored. I like speaking in front of large crowds. I like to make people happy. Divorce rates, the biggest problem with marriage is money. Success never changes. There are some people who can’t do certain things. Some people can’t be entrepreneurial. If I could tell somebody here that they shouldn’t be an entrepreneur I’d be happy to do that. Not everyone can handle the pressure.  There’s a great ability for some people to handle pressure. In 1990 I handled tremendous pressure, Guiness gave me the honor of greatest financial comeback of all time. I don’t even know if that’s an honor, means you had trouble. I never went bankrupt. Some of my friends went bankrupt and you’ll never hear from him. Today my company is worth many many times then it was in the 80s.

05:50 I get sued every day, it doesn’t even bother me. My friend comes up to me and asks, “You get sued so much. How do you even stand it? I don’t even think about it.

05:55 Your country is so much more advanced than our country. I took a picture in front of Sydney Opera House, it was windy as hell. You know what happens when it’s windy and you’re Trump? My hair.

06:35 I look at things, the stupidity with which people work. I have so many things, luck, hire the right people, you need to not trust them at all because they’ll take the shirt off your back. My mother was at a speech and she asked if I made a mistake. I said no, because if they don’t respect you, they’ll steal from you, they think the company is theirs. They won’t respect you if they think you’re a slacker, if they don’t think you’re smart they’ll rob you, they’ll steal from you. My mom said “That’s not right, Donald. You get the right people and you trust them.” I disagree. You get the right people, and don’t trust them for one minute. They are after your wife, your dog, your money. But get the right people anyway.

07:57 You have to love what you do. When you really love what you do you work harder. Never ever give up. You can change, but never give up. I know people who are very smart who went to Wharton with me. I know people who aren’t as smart and those people are the top people in industry today. They were tougher. The smart ones had all the advantages, but didn’t know how to solve problems as guys that weren’t as good. We don’t use our bright and brilliant guys in the U.S. We use people that are diplomats. Diplomats are people who go to school to be nice. I know all the killers in New York. If I were to pick a team of business people. What we would do to the rest of the world would be unbelievable. I deal w China, I’m not angry at China. I just wish we had someone that could rip them off for a while. That’s why I love Australia, you’re selling them all sorts of shit. Naw I love it. The crap is coming out of the ground, you don’t know what it is, they don’t know what it is. I say raise your prices. What you do is really screw them on the price of raw materials. Trust me, you’ll be richer than China. They need you. Even Japan, we love Japan. They went through a tsunami, some other problems. Nuclear plants exploding…and now we all feel sorry for Japan. But they’ve been screwing us for 25 years. You never see a Chevy sold in Japan. But they are our ally. China is going to make $300b off us.

11:22 We gave up the Panama Canal for $1. Jimmy Carter gave it away for $1. Do you think he was a great negotiator. We have very stupid people running the United States. I did run, I was #1 in every poll. But we have a rule you can’t be on TV and run for office. If GOP runs the wrong candidate, I will seriously consider running as an Independent.

13:09 United States has some problems but they can be worked out. If you’re in a country that’s not doing well, it’s hard. You need good leadership. If you’re an entrepreneur…I hear good things about how Australia’s been run. You just had your financial genius just got an award. I don’t know who gives him that award, maybe he gave it to himself. I give myself awards all the time. And then I announce, I just received an award. There’s nothing deceptive about it.

15:40 I was in deep, deep trouble in the early 90s. I had a beautiful girlfriend named Marla. She cost me a fortune. I walk by Tiffany in NY there’s a beggar…”I said that beggar has roughly $900m more than me.” Let’s assume he’s worth nothing, I’m worth -$900m. She stayed, had she left I would have saved a lot of money.

17:25 I go to my office, my secretary tells me you have a major black tie dinner. Who’s there? The bankers. I say, “Shit.” I owe them $9.2b and have no intention of paying them and I have to go to a bankers dinner. It’s true. So I go, I’m sitting at a table loaded up with bankers. Guy on my right I didn’t know who he was. So I started talking to the guy on the left. This guy bankrupted a lot of people. I owed him $179m. He was bankrupting everybody. I’m sitting next to him. Evening goes buy, I start working him hard. I’m sitting at the dinner next to this guy. Call it look. All of the sudden I could see he was starting to like me. I’m a nice guy. Who’s done better with women then Trump. They love Trump, it’s a crazy thing. Women are smart aren’t they. The banker told me I like you, said can you be in my office next Monday? Let’s see if we can work something out. I said “I’ll be there.” In 5 minutes, we worked out a deal. Think about the word luck and working hard. I didn’t want to go there, my secretary gave me one more chance. I sat next to the guy, had I not gone, I probably wouldn’t be here because the Empowerment Group would have said who wants a loser? You can make yourself lucky.

22:30 She got in her car and got her ass over here…I don’t know too many women who are taller than me. She’s great.

23:02 You got to get even with people. Even if you don’t get in contact with them, other people will know you’re a fighter. They will know not to screw with you. If someone screws you over, you have to screw them back in spades. I really believe it’s important whether you like it or not. What you want to do is get out, work hard. This is a great country. I have so many friends from Australia. A lot of people move to New York and never move back. Australia is a really rich, beautiful country. It’s my honor to be in this beautiful auditorium.

25:05 Think big. Focus on the positive. It’s really important to focus on the positive. The word momentum is a word you never hear in success talks. Some of you have great momentum now, play it. Others of you don’t. For others of you, it’s over.  If it’s over, know it’s over. There’s nothing wrong with that.

26:15 You have to believe in yourself. See yourself as a one man band. Don’t rely on other people, they’ll let you down. To be a winner, you have to think like a winner. It’s a real honor. Even though the 22 hr trip is abnormally long, I appreciate it. Thank you.
