In real life and up close, his hair looks like a helmet, like an inorganic substance separate and apart from his head.
What left the biggest impression on me is the sheer size of the dude's head. He is cranially very well-endowed and disproportionately so compared to his body -- and he's not a short guy. His head is just huge.
And he has horrible, pockmarked, almost reptilian skin on that huge mug. In that picture you linked, he's definitely wearing big time make up.
But he does have serious coin . . .
he sounds GORGEOUS !!!!!!!! lol @ inorganic substance and "the sheer size of the dudes head"
cranially very well endowed....lol Now theres a phrase you dont hear very often, shame coz its a good un !!!
he prob slaps the make up on big time for the cameras. He looks plastic and the teeth - are they false? I mean they look fukking mental
Of course his teeth are fake -- come on, it's The Donald we're talking about.
And he's by no means self-made, though in fairness he has increased his family fortune. The well-known "rumor" is that when The Donald almost went bankrupt in 1990-91, he was bailed out not only by banks that stood to lose big if he went under, but also by his daddy who gave him something like $50 million without paying gift tax by betting it all at once on the roulette wheel at The Donald's casino.
no wonder he doesnt give a flying fuk what his combover looks like just how rich is The Donald ? and wherre did his fortune come from?
*edit ..just thought, how OLD is The Donalds dad? He must be a fair old age coz The Donald is knocking on a bit. He could be dead now of course if that was 1991 when he bailed him out.
His father Fred Trump was in his mid-80's when he bailed out The Donald in 1990-91 (and that was not the only time).
I just looked up Fred Trump. He died in 1999 at age 93.
Fred Trump amassed a fortune of about $200 - $300 million by building and operating vast apartment complexes for working class/middle class (in the U.S. sense of middle class) in the outer boroughs of New York City, mainly in Brooklyn but also in Queens and Staten Island. I know people who grew up in Trump apartment complexes and I've seen them. Each complex consists of 20 to 30 large apartment buildings (about 20 stories each) that all look the same.
Fred Trump was what I would call a "mass retail landlord."
The Donald took the real estate biz upscale by developing high-end cooperative and condominium apartment buildings in ritzy Manhattan neighborhoods. His first big splash was when he bought the Olympic Towers on Fifth Avenue from the Onassis family, redeveloped the property to "ultra-luxury" (really glitzy, and imo tacky) and sold the units to nouveau-riche American multi-millionaires, wealthy Middle Easterners and "Eurotrash" (an unflattering NYC nickname for certain rich Europeans).
The Donald then developed casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, when casino gambling first became legal in New Jersey. Despite its proximity to NYC, Atlantic City was a ghetto that never became and will never become Las Vegas. It was those casinos that almost sent The Donald into bankruptcy. They're in the black now, but it's chump change compared to Vegas.
He later branched out by buying a landmark office skyscraper (40 Wall Streets, where I worked for some years before it became "The Trump Building") at a distress price and subseuquently developed other high-end aprtment buildings in Manhattan's wealthy Central Park South and Central Park West.
The big thorn in The Donald's side is that he has been shunned by Las Vegas. The truly big-time Las vegas casino developers (e.g., Steve Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, among others) have always looked down on The Donald as small fry. This eats away at The Donald's abundant ego.
$3 billion $50 million must seem like small change now.

Quote:
In February 2007, Donald had a bet with World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon. On April 1st, 2007, each man will select a wrestler to represent him, with the loser getting his head shaved after the match. The match was called the "Battle of the Billionaires". Donald's representive Bobby Lashley won the match. Thus resulting in Donald helping shave Vince's head.

Quote:
In 2000, Donald Trump actually considered running for president as a member of the Reform party
"He's romantic," Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model, told Oprah Winfrey last year of her fiance, Donald Trump. "He's very private but very romantic."
He's also no dummy when it comes to protecting his 10-figure fortune.
"A prenup is an ugly instrument, but they'd better have one," Trump told New York magazine in 2002. "If I didn't have mine, I would not own all these beautiful buildings."
What did the former Mrs. Trumps get?
Mrs. Trump No. 1: Ivana Zelnicek, former competitive skier and model
Married: April 7, 1977
Divorced: Dec. 11, 1990
$: Under a divorce pact signed after she unsuccessfully challenged a prenuptial agreement, Donald Trump had to pay her $14 million in cash, $350,000 in annual alimony and $300,000 a year for child support. She also got their 45-room mansion in Greenwich, Conn., an apartment in Trump Plaza and a 1987 Mercedes.
Mrs. Trump No. 2: Marla Maples, former actress and Georgia peach
Married: Dec. 20, 1993
Divorced: 1999
$: The prenup offered her riches, but it had a four-year marriage clause. Donald Trump served notice weeks before the anniversary, so the agreement was null and void. She walked away with $1 million, property and child support.
The Donald paid out chump change to his ex-wives compared to his net worth.
and no matter his net worth would you mind getting, what was it...
$14 million in cash, $350,000 in annual alimony and $300,000 a year for child support. She also got their 45-room mansion in Greenwich, Conn., an apartment in Trump Plaza and a 1987 Mercedes.
$14MILLION in CASH
thats silly money that 99.9999 % of the worlds population can only dream about. Who needs more than a million dollars seriously !!!
I agree that it's serious coinage, but recall that was his first wife who was there for him whilst he "struggled," gave him three children and, most importantly, was the one who first called him The Donald.
And serving notice on the second wife weeks before the four-year marriage clause in the prenup kicked in, thus saving him millions, is kinda cheeky (isn't that what you Brits say) . . .
By the way, judging by the "Expensive Britain" thread, USD $1 million can buy barely a hovel in London.
Right?
Correct. The Sterling is the best.
Yeah, and you know the first thing about economics.
Yes I do. Although, I wasn't talking about that.
You know nothing about economics.
Based on your purported military service, all you know is how to murder people.
I know lots about economics. I run my own business
True, I do know how to kill people. Are you worried?
As a Commander of the British . and one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of the Armed Forces, on behalf of Her Majesty, I extend to you the warmest "F*** off" from the British Crown.
