And it was a loan.
From the annals of, "I'm so filthy rich, I have no frickin' clue how filthy rich I am," comes this revelation from Donald Trump after he was asked at a town hall if he had ever been told "no." Caitlin MacNeal
reports:
"My whole life really has been a ‘no.’ And I fought through it," he responded.
"It has not been easy for me," he continued. "I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back. And I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan. I started buying up properties, and I did great."
Trump said that his father doubted him and felt his foray into Manhattan wouldn't work out.
"All my life I was told 'no,'" Trump said.
Wow. Now that is some tough love right there. But The Donald triumphed! Isn't that inspiring?
