It appears at Huffington Post and is titled Donald Trump Hired Me As An Attorney. Please Don’t Support Him For President.
Here’s the beginning of the piece:
I like authenticity, especially as compared to survey-tested or heavily spun. I am prepared to let a candidate say something that I don’t completely agree with and still support him or her. I think the need to be politically correct has gone too far. I also think the media often hypes and slants stories to the point of being untruthful.
I think a prosperous middle class is the key to the American success story, both economically and politically, and that lobbyists have way too much sway. I am very much a pragmatist, so much so that I like compromise more than I like ideology. I like deals, especially those that are win-win.
So Donald Trump is my candidate, right? He is NOT!
Thomas Wells was a lawyer with expertise in New Jersey real estate hired by Trump when the latter wanted to build a shopping center in New Jersey.
Like the man who actually wrote The Art of the Deal, Wells is able to give us some real insight into Donald Trump with a couple of anecdotes, one about his bragging about all the women who wanted to sleep with him, the other having to do with how many rooms were in the apartment in which Donald lived in Trump Tower with his first wife, Ivana. Newspapers had printed numbers ranging from 8 to 30.
Genuinely curious, I once asked him how many rooms the apartment actually had. I will never forget his response to me: “However many they will print.”
