I Was An Attorney For Trump. Trust Me, You Don’t Want Him As President.

Bullies will always exist somewhere, but the White House should not be that somewhere.

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!

In 1987, when I was 35 years old and he was 41, Donald Trump hired me to be his attorney on a major northern New Jersey project, a shopping center, which like everything else, was to bear his name, Trump Centre. It was a big deal that he picked me and a high honor for me just a couple of years after I started my law firm, which is now over 30 years old. This was at a time when Trump still built things, having recently finished Trump Tower.

[I’ll never forget when] my married client sought to regale me with the number and quality of eligible young women who in his words “want me.”

He seemed to me smart, business savvy, decisive. He had a very impressive office, a fancy and very big boat, an airline, a helicopter shuttle and several casinos. Within a few years, virtually all of this would be lost because of bad business decisions. Lots of lawyers have worked for Donald Trump; lots and lots. I am no Roy Cohn ― neither as aggressive nor (hopefully) nearly as ethically-challenged ― but I did know well how to get very tough land use matters through an always challenging application process in New Jersey. I was thrilled when he hired me.

After the initial interview, my client contact with Donald was actually not very much. One low point I do remember (actually will never forget) is a limousine ride to a meeting with the editorial board of a New Jersey newspaper in which my married client sought to regale me with the number and quality of eligible young women who in his words “want me.” I was just plain shocked and embarrassed, but I kept smiling. I wanted and needed this client happy.

While I was working for Donald, various press reports had Trump and his then-wife Ivanna living in a personal apartment in the Trump Tower of 8, 16 and even 20 or 30 rooms. 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.”

Donald Trump was then, as he is now, larger than life, particularly in his own eyes, and at the same time frighteningly small, with very little moral grounding. He was then, and still is, all ego and show.

I once asked him how many rooms [his] apartment actually had. I will never forget his response to me: “However many they will print.”

I have thought about this a lot, and I want to share my humble insights of why we cannot elect Donald Trump as president of the United States. To me, it is more about character than politics. Because of lack of the former, the latter ― the actual politics of Donald Trump ― are not that easy to discern.

Once I got going with my reasons why Donald would not be good for our country, it was hard to stop. I did stop, however, when I hit 20, about 4,000 words from here. Read on if you are interested.

Wow, what an interesting read from someone who knows Trump from business and personal perspectives. For those who care about such things - it's definitely worth reading the entire article. Amazing...

that's an ATTORNEY??? communication between an attorney and his client is PRIVILEGED. I have been dealing with PRIVILEGED information since I was 19 (well----actually I was a switchboard operator in a large hospital ---part time---college job back then) I HAVE NEVER IN ALL THOSE YEARS (I am ----pushing-----or the decades are PUSHING ME towards 70) fucked around with privileged
information----I wouldn't tell my patients' SHOE SIZEs ---to
anyone----EVAH!!!!!! Moron who wrote that disgusting piece violated the "ethics" his profession---he is a bag of shit.-----one of my patients knew Donald quite well---he had worked for Donald's daddy. I ain't tellin' what he told me
about ANY OF THEM------nah nah nah nah nah.....
A lawyer can say anything about their clients as long as it does not divulge specific information on any case. That being said, some clients insist on broad non-disclosure agreements that it seems Trump did not get from this guy.

really? a lawyer has to SIGN A CONTRACT----in order to
maintain a decent level confidentiality? I did not know. That's disgusting. The same is, absolutely, not true of doctors. People in need of a lawyer are most often in a vulnerable state-----and should be told UP FRONT-----by
the lawyer. "I SHIT, SPIT, AND FART on any misapprehension on your part that I might keep secret---
YOUR secrets which you divulge to me in your distress.
I am a lawyer ----not a fucking doctor"
Even a doctor could say you were the biggest asshole he ever met. Since you are thinking about attorney-client privilege you should know that it is something a lawyer can claim to protect his client during a case but he is not bound by it. At best Trump can sue this guy for slander in civil court, and lose.

No----no doctor would call me an asshole-----if a patient tells a doctor-----"I CHEAT ON MY WIFE"-----the doc cannot reveal
that information even if the only working diagnosis is a GALL-STONE I do not believe you in your claim that lawyers have DISCRETION in revealing personal information on their clients. Lawyers love to say----"see? we do it like doctors"
Trump's lawyer ------did a "NOT ETHICAL"

HUff Po....well I can post Alex Jones articles of how great he is.,.....stop using biased leftwing sources.

Why? I like facts and truth. Don't you...?


No ignore? I love facts, that's why I don't read the Huff Po.....Alex Jones is shit, but has more honesty than the holy triad of communism.
 
"After the initial interview, my client contact with Donald was actually not very much."

And there it is.

2 minutes? Wow, you're a fast reader. I congratulate you. The entire article paints a much different picture about the attorney's overall knowledge of Trump.

It proves that it is a biased and dishonest hit piece. She knows nothing about him.

She? Apparently you REALLY don't know much - because Thomas M. Wells is a guy.

Statement stands nevertheless!
 
He didn't say anything that was privileged. Not to mention it was a relationship from decades ago.

Which of his statements do you think was privileged?

For once we agree on something.

everything he said was privileged. A person speaking
to his LAWYER whom he had retained has a right to
expect confidentiality----just as a person speaking to a
doctor has a right to expect confidentiality (IMO)

And he did not disclose anything about his legal matter so what's the issue?

He disclosed information told to him by a client ----about the client---which the client might not wish to be disclosed.. If
you do not understand the issue of CONFIDENTIALITY---
I am not going to struggle to explain it.
 
It is a special and unique form of arrogance to think you could even consider being literally the leader of the free world without doing the work to deeply understand the job.

Bingo!
