Summary:

Key Points:

Clip A:

1.50 DT: people come up to you grab you and touch. Never thought it would be like that.

3.30 (on father) Watched. Not even consciously. Playing as a child, he’d be on phone talking about prices. At 16 knew everything about building business. I’d never study. But knew everything.

13.35 tend to create things that sell. Greatest strength knowing what people want and the ability to get it done.

17.11 But i give Ed Koch and Stern, credit, for having courage to say DT go and do it, would have probably better for them if i didn’t do it. Truth is for 3.5 months nothing but helpful

18.08 i’m saying Koch could do everyone a big favor if he got out of office and they started all over again. No talent and only modern intelligence.

18.55 feel strongly about the country i love the country. I think you will probably have Bush as president. Excellent guy excellent man. Friend of mine. Here for that reason. (if ran for president) I’d have a really good chance, i like to win, do well, pretty good chance.

19.31 if told me a year ago, opportunity to own such a wonderful asset, really would have said it just can’t happen.

21.43 sent her to Atlantic city to run a casino. She did a very good job. Problem was all she Wanted to talk about the business. Don’t blame her, but when i get home a 7 and left home at 8. Really don’t want to come home and talk about win numbers, really wanted to relax and be with wife.

Wife and helper, lady of good taste. very Happy. She keeps me toned down a little bit.

22.45 moved her over to the plaza hotel and more of the same, talking about business. How hotel is doing, how we are doing it. Beyond 10-15 minutes, didn’t want to do it. Became more of a business relationship, than a family relationship or a wife husband relationship.

27.15 shocked to see so much press. Know they only want to talk about tour the Trump today

27.50 never left Ivana because of Marla but that is something that is unknown a lot though i did or hoped. Sounded sexier in the paper to write i did, but never left ivana for marla.

28.40 i can buy anything i want. Love where i came from. Love foods i grew up eating, when i go to french restaurants, get best tables, get phony waiters, then give you a plate, tiny piece of pheasant on it. Gravy in 19 different colors, 13 different vegetables you hate. supposed to tell this owner what a fabulous meal you had, because it’s hottest restaurant in NY. 1 of 12. Then give you bill, 143 for one meal. You say, am i missing something.

30.09 cleanliness freak, love washing hands before i eat. Wash hands, sterilize, then go to table sit down, guy comes up to you, then 4-5 others. tend not to eat as much. Not in the mood to shake hands with everyone, to say hello, don't wanna do it. But at same time you know if it ever stops bad sign, because it means you aren’t there anymore, it’s over.

31.58 never forget having to get up at 3am one morning. Freezing horrible. Go to a bank, where groups of people working hard. Call other parts of the world and talk to bank presidents about my loans.

32.54 Broke up a few times. Wrong time for me to have a relationship. Same time, also great knowing there was someone there. She Was there like no one i’d ever seen. Level of loyalty great. Not like she was being treated so great.

34.54 walking down street with Marla. Man in front of tiffany, said to marla, told her you know that Man wealthier than me, that man is worth 900 million more than me at this very moment. She said i don’t understand, let's assume he’s worth nothing, I’m worth minus 900 mill.

36.50 when you are billions and billions 3 million doesn’t mean a lot in one sense. But in another it means an awful lot. Sign of confidence. I was in trouble. People would go up to my father, who didn’t like me. But they would say hey, Sons in trouble, in gloating way. he’d say, tell this to everyone, bet your ranch on the fact that he comes back stronger than before. You can retreat and go away and give up or fight harder than ever fought before. Really  took eye off ball for awhile. Blame self. Don’t blame real estate depression. Don’t blame anyone. Took eye off the ball, got it back on the ball, really focused. Worked out.

39.08 are we getting married, who says we aren’t?

39.24 if they aren’t doing their jobs i yell. Not doing job creates effect to yell. Get them moving their ass, doing their job. but generally speaking i’m not a yeller.

39.51 respect for a homemaker as wife than i do as a wife who is a good wife and a good business person. far more respect. Tougher it is a lot harder to beautifully bring up a family. most women would agree with me.

40.25 image of me as a flame thrower. The actual fact is that i’m much different. not a mean guy at all. Just the opposite. Not pushed around, don’t want to be pushed around. Don’t allow people to push me around.

43.42 everyone wants me to run for office. Polls are taken that show i win. It’s not my thing too honest, forthright. There is a level of honesty and a level of dishonesty it takes to be a great politician. But i’m just too straight.

45.01 when you see all this. Then when people come up to you and grab at you. did i think it was going to be like that. No. in my wildest dreams.
