Aug 2200:01:44Tap to summarize"Life is very fragile, and success doesn’t change that. If anything, success makes it more fragile. Anything can change, without warning, and that’s why I try not to take any of what’s happened too seriously. Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game." - Donald J. Trump

Transcribe →The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Deliver the Goods (1987)
Aug 2200:04:57Tap to summarize"But that experience also taught me something. Until then, I’d never understood how Jimmy Carter became president. The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection.Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there’s anything beneath that smile." - Donald J. Trump

Transcribe →The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Enhance Your Location (1987)
Aug 1400:03:02Tap to summarize"My point is that the real money isn't made in real estate by spending the top dollar to buy the best location. You can get killed doing that, just as you can get killed buying a bad location, even for a low price. What you should never do is pay too much, even if that means walking away from a very good site. Which is all a more sophisticated way of looking at location." - Donald J. Trump
