Donald Trump -- The Original Swatch Watch

This is too funny.

Describing Trump as the “billion-dollar loser,” Leerhsen explains how Trump used the fictitious version of himself as presented in “Art of the Deal” to convince financial institutions that he had super deal-making powers that his actual finances weren’t capturing.

“They believed it over what they saw on his balance sheets or heard coming out of his mouth, and they never said no to his requests for more money,” he writes. “As a result, a failing real estate developer who had little idea of what he was doing and less interest in doing it once he’d held the all-important press conference wound up owning three New Jersey hotel-casinos, the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Airlines Shuttle and a 281-foot yacht.”

“Trump’s portfolio did not jibe with what I saw each day — which to a surprisingly large extent was him looking at fabric swatches,” he said. “Indeed, flipping through fabric swatches seemed at times to be his main occupation. Some days he would do it for hours.”

Leerhsen describes looking at swatches as something within Trump’s intellectual “comfort zone,” whereas managing hotels and casinos “clearly wasn’t.”
