How To Fire a Sign: Be Owned By Donald Trump

Ha ha ha. The Donald's crazy 13'-by-25' foot banner on Trump Tower has been fired by city officials, who say it's illegal. And just a day after the New York Times wrote about how tourists LOVE it! The Donald's comment: "The fact that 'The Apprentice' is the hottest show on TV, they should be happy we're doing it in New York. The big complaint about the city is that it's an unfriendly place to do business," he said. "They should wise up." Yeah, but if a competitor put up a huge, ugly sign on their building, The Donald would be the first in line to bitch to the city. And dude, your sign has been up for weeks - you got good value out of it. But The Donald loves the signs: Trump hung a sign from the Trump International across from the Time-Warner Center, saying his building had the real Central Park views.

Make your own vinyl banner sign. And, boy, is Amy stupid.

You know Trump doesn't actually own the Trump International Hotel & Tower, he was just brought in by the owner (GE) when they wanted to renovate and re-brand. If you read the NYT article about his verbal billions you find that this is the case for almost all of his buildings (except Trump Tower on 5th ave). Apparently he is a good developer, but he really doesn't own a whole lot.

Rumnor has it that Nick is an actor.

Go figure; from LA, no apparent business knowledge...

i like bill the best too.. and esp liked when he was being mean to the hookers

omit, good point about bringing Katrina into the bedroom, but I was referring to Amy overall. Nick seems annoying. I liked Bill last night, except when he was being mean to the hookers the other team hired.

Nick's Licks

No way, omit. Amy is getting played. Old ginger-haired Nick is avoiding risky leadership positions so other people can take the hits while he remains in the background. But he's also aligning himself with the braver, stronger players -- like Amy and previously Bill -- so he can charm them into keeping him onboard. He wants to be the last man standing. And if he wins, it won't be because of business skills, it will be because he avoided taking risks while kissing the right asses. He's the personification of white collar thinking w/ red hair on top.

I don't agree that Amy was stupid (to take Katrina to the boardroom). When you go to the boardroom, you want to take the weakest member of your team--and let's face it--Katrina's time has come. If she had taken Nick, there could be a chance she would be more vulnerable.

However, she was stupid to do that promotion. And using a microphone to broadcast to the masses at the slots? Also not too smart.

I loved his constant, 'its not a hairpiece, its not a hairpiece' while his combover was blowing in the wind. I don't think anyone thinks it's a toupee, rather a funny looking combover.
