Trump This!

The Donald says his course in L.A. is better than Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes (which he says is "in a wasteland far away from civilization")

A Yes, I think I would. The biggest asset wasn't my father's money, but what I learned from my father. My father was a great negotiator and a great builder. I build better than anyone else and that's why I'm successful.

Q Do you see everything as an opportunity to make money?

A I see everything as an opportunity to have a good time. What I am is a very creative person.

Q Are you a manipulative person?

A Probably. I don't like to analyze myself, but sometimes [being manipulative] is the only way to get to the endgame.

Q How do you marry a beautiful woman?

A That's an interesting question. I have many rich friends who can't get a date. I have a friend with a G5 plane who can't get a date. He asks me, "Can you get me a date with that woman?" and then later he asks, "Can you get me a second date with her?" He's a very smart guy, but he doesn't have it. He sees a woman and he gets lockjaw. It's a quality you either have or you don't. Women have always liked me. It's a quality you can try to develop, but people who women like, women have always liked.

Q Why do you think women have always liked you?

A It's always been that way. I don't know why. Money is not ultimately what gets you a woman. She needs to be tuned in and turned on.

Q What's the best line for a guy who doesn't have a big bankroll?

A It's not the line.it's the style, the confidence, the approach. Studies show that a woman knows within five seconds if she's going to sleep with you. It's the chemistry you create, not the line.
