Only time will tell whether Donald Trump is the man to be the Chief Executive Officer of the most powerful nation on the planet and the Superpower or not. Even as you think about his remarks, do you know this man? Donald Trump.

He is a son of a real estate developer, Fred Trump who introduced Donald to the world business at an early age where their son worked on their family firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son which Donald Trump later renamed, The Trump Organization in 1971. In the year 2010, he hit news headlines after declaring his interest in the most coveted political position in the U.S. However, May this year saw the business magnate pull out himself from the race before mentioning that he was not to be completely ruled out.

            Donald Trump considers his father, Fred as his core mentor and key player in his successful business story and whose signature has become synonymous in the New York City including but not limited to Avenue skyscraper, Trump Palace, Trump Tower, Trump Place, Trump World Tower and Trump Park Avenue at 59th Street.
