Trump Unfazed by Real Estate Meltdown

Lest you question the true extent of Donald Trump's sliminess, there's a report making the rounds that His Coiffiness tipped a Santa Monica waiter $10,000 on a $82.27 tab earlier this week, all in the name of a glorious PR stunt. The waiter at the Buffalo Club restaurant served a terse Donald some soup, pasta, and a cappuccino, before Trump demanded to know who had given the waiter the biggest tip. Jerry Bruckheimer had apparently dropped $500 on a $1,000 tab. But while the rest of the country is reeling from a mortgage crisis, apparently skeevy casinos and shiny hotels have been unaffected. Or at least, the vulnerable real estate industry still has The Donald's seal of approval. WWTD
