Donald Trump: His expanding excess for success destroys other people's smaller dreams.

Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 08:27 AM by The Backlash Cometh

On CNN, coming up: Donald Trump is planning some kind of development on what looks like lush green pastures somewhere in Great Britain or Ireland. The guy who owns the land looks like a regular Joe who has time-worn barns on the property. Donald Trump is calling the land a pigsty.

How does someone walk in and have the balls to denigrate someone's property these days? This is a clear example of the new American excess for success style of capitalism.

1. He was talking about this on Larry King the other day.

It's going to be in Scotland where, using Trump hyperbole, it's going to be the finest golf course and surrounding resort in the world. He thinks he's doing the locals a huge favor.

Trump's ego and penchant for self-promotion are boundless. To hear him talk everything he does is an "amazing" success. He simply allows no room for reality to creep in.

Haha. Farmer Forbes has his own idea of success.

3. when the dollar colapses, donald won't be worth the money

"he's" printed on.

the members of the beautiful people sect or those of the cult of personality will have to figure out new and creative ways to pump their ego and live off the sweat of the prols.

5. Why does he have to make everything he does such a media event?

He acts like people worship him.

9. Money doesn't buy class.

And Donald Trump is a living example. I detest that self-absorbed self-important windbag.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
