Trump deposition released (Food Channel's Geooffrey Zakarian). He's better than Ike.

In the deposition, Mr. Trump sat for about 100 minutes, often with his arms folded and sometimes swaying in his chair. He answered questions about the contracts with the chefs and about his remarks on Mexicans, telling Mr. Zakarian’s lawyer, Deborah Baum, that he had been misinterpreted by the news media, which he called “very dishonest.”

“All I’m doing is bringing up a situation which is very real, about illegal immigration,” he said during the deposition. “And I think, you know, most people think I’m right.”

He explained that his raising the topic of illegal immigration “led to my nomination in a major party in the country.”

“I’ve tapped into illegal immigration,” he said. “I’ve tapped into other things, also. But, you know, when you get more votes than anybody in the history of the party, history of the party by far — more than Ronald Reagan, more than Richard Nixon, more than Dwight D. Eisenhower who won the Second World War — you know, that’s pretty mainstream, when you think about it.”

Knowing a couple of these Foodies,watch and see how many pull their Restaurants and Bistros out ofTrump themed buildings. Con Job bit off way more than he will every be able to chew . Old Con Job isn't suing some empty pockets on this one,these folks will come after him like never before. Watch for Culinary Unions playing in this play pen.

I could only post 4 paragraphs

The video shows Mr. Trump, in a black suit and blue tie, sitting in an nondescript law office in June answering questions in his suit against Geoffrey Zakarian, a celebrity chef who backed out of Mr. Trump’s new hotel development at the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington. Mr. Trump is also suing another chef, José Andrés, who backed out of another restaurant.
