Unbelievable."I have real estate all over the world, which now people are understanding. When I filed my forms with the federal election, people said, Wow thats really a big company, thats a big company. It really is big, its diverse, its all over the world. Its a great company with great assets. I think that, you know, selling real estate isnt like selling stock. Selling real estate is much different, its in a much different world.
Id say this, and I mean this and I said it on 60 Minutes the other night: My company is so unimportant to me relative to what Im doing, cause I dont need money, I dont need anything, and by the way, Im very under-leveraged, I have a very small percentage of my money in debt, very very small percentage of my money in debt, in fact, banks have said Wed like to loan you money, wed like to give you any amount of money. Ive been there before, Ive had it both ways, Ive been over-levered, Ive been under-levered and, especially as you get older, under-levered is much better."

"I mean, Im somebody that really has gotten along with people over the years. It was interesting, my wife, I went to a big event about two years ago. Just after I started thinking about politics. And were walking in and some people were cheering and some people were booing, and she said, you know, People have never booed for you.
Ive never had a person boo me, and all of a sudden people are booing me. She said, thats never happened before. And, its politics. You know, all of a sudden they think Im going to be running for office, and Im a Republican, lets say. So its something that I had never experienced before and I said, Those people are booing, and she said, Yup. Theyd never booed before. But now they boo. You know, it was a group and another group was going the opposite."
This from a grown man who is about to become president.
jeez

importance issue? Oh boy! As far as US Banks loaning him money,for get about it. He has screwed them on five occasions. Only Foreign Banks would touch this Slug and then with a mega Asset to Liability Ratio. The Guy is such a Fake and Liar,he never mentions his Offshore Business Deals. And this will take him down within two years.
