Evidently, she lost almost everything one day and Trump took pleasure in refusing to give her things such as a good reference.<\/p>\n<p>There was one story that was kind of intriguing where he mentions that he knew a famous basketball player who got robbed blindly by his agent.  Afterwards, he discovered a lot of proof of some sort that would convict the person in question and Trump was adamant that he should go after him and even offered to do everything such as giving him a lawyer.  However, the person didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to go through with it and Trump labels people like that as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153schmuck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>That just kind of surprises me on why a person wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take action in that case.  For myself, I recognize that sometimes people do stupid things such as if there is a lot of money involved they get deceitful as they think they can get away with it.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like all those times where you see a good person stealing because they were tempted as the opportunity presented itself.<\/p>\n<p>I usually give people the benefit of the doubt personally while throwing small signals about their actions which they know is wrong.  If even after that it is clear that they made a conscious decision to not be truthful while attempting to steal from others that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s when I am personally fully willing to expose them as I think they should have to pay back and be held accountable for what they did.  From what I learned, you can still be a nice person and succeed, but being naive is usually what ends up costing you at the end as a result of not taking action. <\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a chapter title of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Revenge\u00e2\u20ac\u009d it pretty much told me that this was going to be a fairly aggressive read.
