Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I cannot stand Trump. He is, in my experience, a nasty human being, and I cannot believe he has become so popular ... popular enough to be elected to the higest political office in the land.
When he first came to public attention doing a contract to repair the ice rink in Central Park in New York, I was quite impressed. The work was done successfully in about three months, when the City has failed to do the needed work in three years. And then he did another successful contract ... rebuilding the old Commadore Hotel next to Grand Central Station so become the Grand Hyatt Hotel. I thought these were impressive accomplishments ... and that was enough to have me in support of Trump as a real estate player.
The Trump architecture also worked well and gave his organization a good brand image.
But I never liked the TV program 'The Apprentice' though it was popular around the country. It served Trump well in terms of giving him general popularity among TV viewers.
I really got to dislike Trump during the Trump embrace of casinos in Atlantic City. I heard a lot of stories about his companies' treatment of contractors and workers which suggested he was a really evil employer. I got to see Trump operating at one of his casinos in Atlantic City when I visited the Taj Mahal just after it opened. He treated himself like Royalty and everyone sles he treated like dirt. At the end of the Atlantic City fiasco, there were a lot of people and small companies that lost a lot ... Trump also lost a lot, but he had the money and he would have lost a lot more if he had not had pretty nasty lawyers who limited Trump's losses significantly mainly at the expense of workers and small contractors.
The Trump Organization around the world does not impress ... for many reasons.
And as a President ... you have to be kidding !!!!!!!!!!!
