Before breaking ground, Trump's castle had crumbled. (He would christen an Atlantic City casino with the name the following year.) In the cutthroat world of Manhattan real estate, it was considered a big loss for the mogul. Trump had tried, and failed, to build a larger-than-life property, and, according to New York, his partner was out $15 million as a result.
But to John Barron, a "Trump spokesperson," that wasn't the case: Selling the property was Trump's idea the whole time, Barron told reporters, making it seem like the real estate mogul had never even wanted the damn castle in the first place, and was happy to see it go: "It sure is easier to get a large commission on a $105-million sale than to put up a building," Barron told New York at the time. Contrary to the public's perception, Trump actually left the bruising battle victorious—at least according to Trump himself.
Because throughout the 1980s, Donald J. Trump was John Barron—a literal alter ego that allowed Trump to say what he wanted, when he wanted, to the New York City press corps, and the world. Barron was a Trump spokesperson, a Trump representative, and was even quoted once or twice as a Trump executive. Sometimes, it was spelled "Barron," other times, just "Baron." But it was always the same person talking: Trump.
Ben Carson is a great smart man .. this statement doesn't hold water. Made Trump look desperate because Carson was coming up in the polls and Trump attacked..
I like Ben Carson . His genius is always in his words.
"… when The New York Times says essentially, from his top adviser and a couple others, that he's essentially incapable of learning foreign policy. I mean, that's pretty sad."
Sue Carswell: I don’t we ever reported that about Madonna and Donald.
Donald Trump: Well, she called and wanted to go out with him, that I can tell you.
So now he has somebody else named Carla who is beautiful and I guess you have something on her. I don’t know if you do or not.
Sue Carswell: No, they won’t talk about her. He didn’t say anything about her. I mean, she’s a daughter of who?
Donald Trump: Well, she’s a very successful model, et cetera, et cetera. But again, he didn’t leave Marla for her. He just wants, he does things for himself. He leaves himself, he does things for himself. When he makes the decision, that will be a very lucky woman.
Donald Trump: Well what’s she going to say? She’s going to say, when he’s with somebody else and had other people lined up, is she going to say “Yes, I want to get back, I want to get back”? You know, she’s a pretty savvy woman, and she’s not going to say—I mean, he’s living with Marla and he’s got three other girlfriends
Carswell tells the Washington Post Trump also described rebuffing advances from Kim Basinger before the interview ended
