Donald Trump: Schmoozer

In January 1996, Donald Trump attended the grand-opening ceremonies for the Trump International Hotel & Tower (on Columbus Circle in Manhattan).

"An efficient schmoozer, Trump worked the room quickly -- a backslap and a wink, a finger on the lapels, no more than a minute with anyone who wasn't a police commissioner, a district attorney, or a mayoral candidate -- and then he was ready to go. His executive assistant, Norma Foerderer, and two other Trump Organization executives were waiting in a car to return to the office. Before it pulled away, he experienced a tug of noblesse oblige. 'Hold on, just lemme say hello to these Kinney guys,' he said, jumping out to greet a group of parking attendants. 'Good job, fellas. You're gonna be working here for years to come.'"
