He filed his first 2 bankruptcies in 1991 & 1992. He had to borrow $20 Million from his siblings just to stay afloat. He divorced Ivana in 1991 (that had to be expensive) and married Marla Maples in'93. They were separated by '98 when he met Melania.

Even people who volunteer to phone bank for him sign a lifetime nondisclosure contract.

That doctor, the one who claimed he wrote the Trump health letter, muttered under his breath during that odd interview (in Italian) that he was not at liberty to say anything else about Trump.

Kellyanne's reward for her role in Trump's campaign will be that she will be publicly perceived as a Trump Whisperer who alone was able to curtail the mercurial psychopath billionaire.

In conservative Republican politics, that will make her a manager very much in demand.

A caller said that Spy Magazine had done an article of The Donald being hospitalized in a Psychiatric facility during the '80's for abuse of amphetamines, such as Aderol (sp), possible treatment for ADHD, depression, weight. The Gastroenterologist that wrote the Letter on the health of The Donald, is being sued by family members of some of his patients for causing the deaths of their loved ones by over medicating. Could this Doctor be The Donald's drug pusher and this could be the cause of Donald's behavior?
