TRUMP INSISTS THAT RICH PEOPLE HAVE AN “OBLIGATION” TO GET PRE- NUPS Trump: Pre-Nuptial Agreements Are “A Modern Day Necessity.” DONALD TRUMP: “I hate the concept of a pre-nuptial agreement because it basically says, 'If and when you get divorced, this is what you're going to get.' And there's something very bad about that. But I think it's a modern-day necessity.” [Primetime Live, ABC News, 3/10/94] Trump: Anybody With A Certain Financial Status Has “An Obligation” To Get A Prenuptial Agreement Signed. TRUMP: “Prenuptial agreements are a very important thing to have. I mean, I think anybody getting married today with a business or with certain financial status, or whatever, has to. They have an obligation to themselves, even to their family, even to their wife to get a prenuptial agreement signed.” [Burden Of Proof, CNN, 10/15/96] Trump On Why He Should Be Able To Keep His Wealth After A Divorce: “I Built This Empire And I Did It By Myself. Nobody Did It For Me.” TRUMP: “I built this empire and I did it by myself. Nobody did it for me- not Ivana, not Marla- nobody. And I think that because somebody marries somebody that built something huge doesn't necessarily mean that just because they get a divorce that they should end up, you know, like the Queen of Sheba.”[Primetime Live, ABC News, 3/10/94] CHILDREN Donald Trump Had Five Children From Three Wives.

DIAZ-BALART: “Donald, this is the first time you've been on--on national TV since the rumors have come out which--which you--you've talked about a little bit about your impending separation from Marla. I know it's not something that's comfortable to talk about. It's not, certainly, something that I enjoy asking about. How are you doing? How are you two doing?” TRUMP: “We're doing really great. And she's a very great professional. She's doing the show tonight and she's going to do a fantastic job. She's a very, very professional, very talented woman. And we're really doing great.” DIAZ-BALART: “Yeah. And she's--she's going to stay with the child, I'm told?” TRUMP: “Oh yeah, absolutely. She's a terrific mother. I mean, her best asset, frankly, is that she is a terrific mother. And Tiffany is--is a wonderful child. And I'm very happy about that because Marla is such a good mother.” [This Morning, CBS, 5/16/97] Trump: “There’s Always Gonna Be Nepotism… That’s The Way The World Works.” WALTERS: “On the outside people will say, nepotism. What do you say to that? Nepotism has become a kind of bad word.” TRUMP: “You know, there's always gonna be nepotism, whether it's a friendship nepotism or whether it's children nepotism. And, you know, that's the way the world works. But the fact is, I love my children and I hope they do a real good job.” [20/20, ABC News, 2/6/04] Confidential Page 221
