Here are some other interesting facts about Donald Trump:
Donald Trump and Glenfiddich
Given Trump’s obvious obstinacy, the Glenfiddich affair may be a classic case of “the pot telling the kettle it’s black.” A few years ago, Trump refused to buy prducts from popular brewers Glenfiddich of Scotland.
The controversy arose because Glenfiddich endorsed an award for one of Trump’s rivals, Michael Forbes. Forbes was highly critical of Trump’s golf course being next to his property and bluntly refused to sell extra acreage for expansion.
Although the winner is apparently chosen by popular vote, Trump objected vehemently, citing Forbes’ open criticism of his golf course. He claimed corporate jealousy from one Glenfiddich’s distributors merited a total boycott of their products by all of his businesses.
Donald Trump and Tax Plans
In his usual brash, style, Donald Trump was at again in 1999, while vying for presidential nomination. The controversial plan, according to Trump would erase the ballooning national debt, all at once, and once for all. His “Robin Hood” style of taxation would relieve the very poor, protect the middle class, and “unburden” the extremely
wealthy.
Trump’s apparent magnanimous approach would seek to offer solutions where none were apparently forthcoming. It would also eliminate the political footballing he thought was afoot at the time. The tax plan would also help replenish dwindling reserves in the Treasury and put the economy on firmer grounds moving forward. His proposal would also help balance the Social Security reserves and protect the middle and lower classes.
Donald Trump and Timothy O’Brien
Talk about tyrannical, tetchy, and tempestuous, Trump vs. O’Brien is a typical example of trivia at its best. O’Brien set out to publish facts about his wealth, and Trump made a huge exception and filed a lawsuit against O’Brien. A small section (about 3 pages) of the book challenged Trump’s actual worth and sparked a firestorm in his wealthy cup.
Obsessed with recognition and the need for supremacy, Trump claimed the book tried to ruin his reputation. Notwithstanding that Trump himself gave O’Brien exclusive insights and facts; he nevertheless felt his “public image” superseded the truth. The outcome was apparently more challenging for Trump, since he opened himself to more public scrutiny about his actual wealth. He did not win the case, but claimed some “victory” anyhow.
Donald Trump’s Beauty Pageants
“Beauty over brains” is another pet peeve with Donald Trump. Not content with every spot in the limelight, Trump apparently demanded exclusive “rights” to contestants in his Miss Universe franchise. The former franchise owner was accused of inappropriate behavior by many contestants over the lifetime of his association with the pageant. As if that were not enough, he apparently could not relate to the charges, simply because he felt “entitled.”
During the almost decade of Trump’s association with the pageant, some contestants accused him of entering their dressing rooms unannounced and uninvited. In other cases, some contestants felt they were overlooked because of their education, body type, or ethnicity in favor of contestants he considered to be more beautiful.
Donald Trump’s Companies and Bankruptcy
Never afraid to face “facts,” Trump has declared bankruptcy more than 3 times within the last two decades. He made the revelation during his presidential race in 2016, amidst mounting pressure about his business ventures and tax returns. Apparently, Trump owns or is associated with more hundreds of companies and his interests are diverse and complex. Some of his ventures are in casinos, real estate, upscale resorts, golf courses and product branding.
