Cool. Did you see that documentary about what it's like to be an heir/heiress to a multi-millionaire fortune? His daughter was in it, she seemed sweet if a little naive (though she was a teen at the time, so it makes sense).

Trump hotels... are they expensive and luxurious? Is that the thing?

Oh and... what made Trump a personal hero to you?

Couple of reasons.  He's an icon in the American real estate industry which is the industry that I'm in, and even though he's repeatedly gone bankrupt he manages to bounce back over and over.  On top of that, he's a hilarious troll (see: constant threats to run for President, The Apprentice, involvement with pro wrestling, etc.)  He's also, behind his fake public persona,  pretty philanthropic.  When I lived in Boston the medical center I worked at used to use his club in Palm Beach, the Mar-A-Lago, to host charity events.  I never met him but my boss did on numerous occasions and she said in "real life" he's surprisingly chill and funny.

Nope.  Which daughter, Ivanka?

I dunno about all of them but that one is five stars, so that one is at least.  In general I stay at Hiltons just to rack up all of the Hilton points (like when I had to go to Pennsylvania for my grandfather's funeral, hotel was free after I burned through some).  The main reason I stayed at the Trump this week was because our travel coordinator lady at work negotiated an insanely steep corporate rate there in January... it's the same price as the Westin next to my office now. :wacko:

That's cool.

I guess it'd be a stretch for him to live up to his public persona in private; it does seem larger than life.

The brutal murderer of the USFL.  Cursed be his name.

No wonder you hire people that say "cunt" in an interview.
