Bernie Ecclestone: Trump is a good salesman
Former Formula 1 owner Bernie Ecclestone and US President Donald Trump have known each other for a long time. In an interview with Telergaph, Bernie commented on his re-election... Bernie Ecclestone: "I've said from day one that Trump is a salesman. He acts like, 'You don't want me to do this? Then do this and this, then we'll make a deal." Fifteen years ago we were trying to organize the U.S. Grand Prix overlooking Manhattan, Trump was a major developer in New York and he wanted his name on everything. I said to him, "The only thing you didn't ask me to put your name on was toilet paper." You know, I'd love to have him as a partner in the used car business.Forget the word "president." Forget the word "president. Trump is the head of a company called USA Limited. He runs the country like a company, tries to satisfy the shareholders and accommodate the demands of the employees. He wants people to be honest and open. He doesn't want them constantly hiding behind something or telling untruths. If he has something to say, he says it. If it upsets someone, then so be it." I'm used to calling things by their proper names, too."
