My Interview with Donald Trump’s Identical Twin Brother Dillon:
.
The Business Scoop of 2011?
.
.
Yes, it’s one of the best-kept secrets of the Business world!
.
Donald Trump, billionaire business-maven and perhaps the most famous Real-Estate mogul of our generation has…
.
A TWIN BROTHER (pictured above). His name is Dillon, he’s older than Donald by a mere four minutes and twenty-eight seconds. Their appearence is so similar it is freaky! And he keeps a VERY low profile. Low, not only on his accord, but on the accord of the family of which he is somewhat of a black-sheep.
.
It was in an old restaurant in a small American town which shall remain a secret…
.
That the Interview Took Place:
.
.
Q: "Sir," I asked, shocked to see ‘The Donald,’ his face covered in ice cream, putting his work-smock back on and heading over to the grill…"Aren’t you…"
.
A: "Actually, if you can keep your voice down, No…I’m not HIM. The name’s Dillon. I’m HIS twin brother."
.
Q: "I…I… didn’t know he had a twin brother," I stated as he took out a spatula and flipped a sizzling burger onto the raw side.
.
A: "Not many people do and I’ll thank you for keeping quiet about this. Next thing you’re gonna be asking, judging by the surprised look on your face is ‘How is it that your brother is building skyscrapers in Manhattan and South Beach and you’re here in a small-town diner flipping burgers?’"
.
.
Q: "Well Dillon, to be honest I answered," pausing briefly as he turned to the broiler to remove a batch of French-fries…" I was kind of wondering…"
.
A: "Well the short answer is this: The entrepreneurial spirit bit my brother Donald early on. While he was playing Monopoly and building ever upward with his Erector Set, I was playing "war" with a plastic Tommy Gun and flipping baseball cards…"
.
And while he was studying Business at…was it Harvard or Yale?…I was out late at frat-parties binge-drinking and sleeping until noon."
.
"While he was developing a Business plan and seeking investors, I was content to do a 9 to 5 in one of those offices with zero chance of upward mobility. Sure I had high hopes, dreams and aspirations, but I never followed them. Become an entrepreneur? Always ‘tomorrow’ I would tell myself. Or the economy’s no good. Or I listened to those detractors who said ‘it’ll never work’."
.
Q: "So you never went into business on your own?" I asked perplexed…" You never followed those dreams of reaching for the sky like your little bro’ Donald?"
.
A: "Well, I actually tried again last year. You know, genetically speaking I have the same I.Q. as ‘old what’s-his-name.’ It should have worked out, but…"
.
"My vocational counselor was actually able to shed some light on the subject. ‘Lack of motivation’ she called it. You see Donald is a risk-taker whereas I’m content to wait and hope for the best. While he was out actively seeking clients and customers I was content to sit back and wait for them to find me. They didn’t. ‘Blog‘ they would tell me. ‘Blog?" I would answer. Who has time to blog? Four hours a week writing and posting articles?"
.
"Develop a great Business Plan they told me. Do some research, marketing and advertising. And an email newsletter? guess I never got around to it. I waited, waited and ‘caput.’ The business went under. And here I am back at…"
.
Q: "B-But why didn’t you try harder?" I asked, utterly confounded. "you could have made it work. There’s inexpensive forms of advertising and marketing. You’ve got Social Media to connect with clients. Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. And that blog? Hey, two to four hours a week of writing is nothing for all of the rewards you could reap! Why?…"
.
A: "Great question!" he answered with an audible sigh.
.
Q: "Well what about asking "The Donald" for a job? There must be something you can do in his organization."
.
A: "Do the words ‘YOU’RE FIRED’ mean anything to you??? Yup, good-old-Donald! And speaking of fired, that’s exactly what I’m gonna be if I don’t get these orders out. Listen buddy, the interview’s over. If you want to order I can recommend the tuna-melt with fries and a side order of corn…"

Ben,
I’m hoping for the call or email though I hope if I get it “the Donald” views this work with a sense of humor!
If not, he can’t say “you’re fired” since I don’t work for him, but he’s got some high-priced lawyers in his arsenal!

Alan,
Serious? Hopefully not too serious. Hope I left some room for humor quirkiness and a bit of slapstick.
In all seriousness: thanks for stopping by and commenting. Your readership and participation is GREATLY appreciated!

Ronika,
No hair net. I had to deal with that crazy hairdo!
Thanks for using the word ‘relevant!’ Sometimes I wonder if they are indeed relevant. I know that sometimes they are strange, rambling and odd. I’m glad if they are found to be useful in a business sense 🙂
