Donald Trump Collected Empty Cans

Donald Trump Collected Empty Cans, Commercial real estate tycoon Donald Trump got his hands dirty (literally) for his first working capital. According Forbes, Trump accompanied his father to job sites and collected empty cans and bottles with his brother for the redemption value.

It didn’t add up to much (Trump recalls it equaling a “below-average allowance”) but it no doubt taught him the value of a dollar. Humorously, Trump also notes that he later accompanied dad on rent collection jobs to scoop up bottles and cans that way, but quickly learned to, “…stand out of the doorway to avoid the possibility of being shot”.

Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump’s extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list.

Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father’s firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.

In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump, The Republican primary officially has become reality television.

In what already is being called ” ‘The Apprentice’ Debate,” Donald Trump will pair up with Newsmax, a conservative magazine and news website, to moderate a presidential forum in Des Moines, Iowa, on Dec. 27, one week before the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses.

Trump’s role, first reported by The New York Times, is certain to be one of the more memorable moments in a presidential primary season that has delivered its share of circuslike spectacle.

Yet, while Trump is derided by liberals — President Obama likened the real-estate mogul to a “carnival barker” during his brief flirtation with a presidential run for repeated assertions the president was foreign-born — he carries weight with an element of the Republicans’ conservative base. That sway seems particularly strong with the party’s tea-party wing, which will be a decisive factor in early caucuses and primaries.

“I was asked to do it by a number of people, including some of my friends that are Republicans, strong Republicans,” Trump said in an MSNBC interview Friday. “I thought it would certainly be a little change of pace for Donald Trump, so I’ll do something I haven’t done before.”

Having finished referring to himself in the third person, Trump moved on to plugging his NBC reality show when asked if he was “worried this debate could look like an episode of ‘The Apprentice.’ ”

“Well, I hope it does as well as ‘The Apprentice,’ ” he responded. ” ‘The Apprentice’ has been an amazing thing.”

Unlike previous debates, this one will not be limited to a specific topic such as national security or the economy. Cable network Ion Television (Comcast, Ch. 3, in Seattle) will broadcast the event.

CPAC 2011

CPAC 2011, An eyebrow awareness, unscripted moment at the conference of conservative political action (CPAC) this afternoon in Washingtion. It was the former Vice-President Dick Cheney, who was not on the official calendar showing to introduce his old friend and colleague from the Bush administration official Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense. He was booed.

Andrew Breitbart said he was fed up with conservative social groups boycott CPAC on the inclusion of the gay Republican group GOProud and I wanted to do something. “I will be the most severe criticism of the gay activist left, which I fear more than al-Qaeda,” Breitbart said. “But these people do not exist in the two-party system, so you tell them they are not welcome in the big tent, I have a huge problem with that, and I will deliver my alt of 80’s, Depeche Mode, Cure, New Order ftish, and we’ll do a gay event a big ol ‘at CPAC. ”

Thus was born Big Party (a nod to the Big Government / Big Journalism / site Big Hollywood Breitbart Naming Convention), an invitation-only event, the 18th Street Lounge DC. He was co-sponsored by GOProud, including Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia took a few hours of rest from media requests to party in the short-sleeved shirts, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, whose president Fred Smith donned a “Enjoy Capitalism” T-shirt under his blazer and the Poker Players Alliance, which became semi-controversial pillars CPAC *. This paid for a fully open bar and musical style of Sophie B. Hawkins.

A word about Sophie B. Hawkins. Michael Steele, who was chairman of the RNC until last month, came to the party and stayed for some time. Just before I went in an exchange seen by several people who described it to me, Steele met with Hawkins. She explained his political philosophy for him.

“I am not a conservative,” said Hawkins, “but I want to [expletive] Sarah Palin.”

Steele responded quickly. “Well, she is very attractive,” he said.

Depeche Mode was played and a fight nearly broke out between two people who were too drunk to explain why they fought on, some people are convinced that Dana Loesch, who wore leather pants, could not have taken Dana Loesch, because she wore leather pants. If it were more entertaining, Stephen Glass would have been.

More than 100 other organizations contribute in various ways. Human Events, the Foundation for America’s young, and the National Rifle Association were three co-sponsors the most prominent in recent years.

In another site, ExposeObama.com on February 7, 2011 posted Guest Writer Don Feder of GrassTopsUSA.com, one of my favorite conservative writers and have been since my first encounter with his column in the Boston Herald ago morethan 25 years. This last column is titled, “Gay, Grover, and false gods. Problems with CPAC 2011”

Again to quote Wikipedia, “CPAC was founded in 1973 by the American Conservative Union and Young Americans for Freedom. Over the years it has grown to thousands of participants each year.”

While America has become more conservative over the last two decades, CPAC has grown up with them including their flagship annual Conservative MPs
Event, speakers such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Pat Buchanan, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tony Snow, to name a few.

But in recent few years a large influx of younger, more idealistic and more to reach people other Conservatives have adopted that are inconsistent with clear many older, more hard-core conservatives mainly on the theme of homosexuality.

While newcomers continue to push for greater recognition and acceptance of gay marriage and even to the point of lobbying for the repeal of the federal government “Definition of Marriage Act,” most of the old stand-bys the organization were themselves and remove their support of the Conference. It’s not just the GOP proud group of homosexuals and their not very popular with the objectives Conservatives, but as Feder said: “The problem with CPAC can be summarized in six words – gay jerk libertarianism Groverknee and Islamist connections. “
