Man, things must be slow these days in kiwi land!
The national lottery of New Zealand is putting out a new game called Trump Up Your Life.
Trump, as in The Apprentice’s Donald Trump!
The New Zealand winner, announced later this month, will get $100,000 plus a trip to NYC with an entourage of three.
According to several of New Zealand’s newspapers, the lottery will also throw in top-flight luggage, a six-night stay at the soon-to-be-openTrump SoHo, $10,000 per person for petty cash, a round of golf at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, a chauffeur-driven limo on-call and a meet-and-greet with the owner of Palm Beach’s Mar-a-Lago.
Trump is reported to have gotten a few bucks for his participation but it’s unclear how much!
Trump is a promoter not a businessman. He doesn’t pay his bills and, in fact, when Forbes mentioned him as one of the richest men in the country a few decades ago he was broke an ultimately filed bankruptcy. Look at all the businesses that he owned that failed: football team, airline, casinos (how do you fail when you rig the odds?). For some undocumented reason his creditors love him as a front man ala Mar-A-Largo.
What is remarkable to me is he never made it completely to politics. His personal and financial warts may be too obvious even in the age of the Kennedys and Clintons.
I’d rather have Buffet’s wealth. Then again, I’d rather socialize with Buffet and would do so even if he were broke. Buffet is a stand up human being; Trump is nouveau riche, self-promoting, insecure, narcissistic trash. It’s too bad society doesn’t hold up wealthy individuals like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, John Chambers, and the like. Instead society worships the dull, self-promoting unimportant people of society. Trump will be judged to be a BUFFOON in the annals of history.
Trump already is judged to be a BUFFOON today. No need to wait for history. Just look at the guy. Personally, I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him.
