Not All of Donald Trump's Dreams Come True

145494No one has been more shameless about self-branding and self-marketing than Donald Trump. Over the past few years, he's stamped his name on everything from a line of steaks and bottled water to a collection of golf wear, accessories and watches. But not every Trump-related project gets off the ground, as was the case with "Trump Power," an energy drink he first contemplated launching in 2004 but gave up on in 2006. Or "Trump Verdict," a courtroom-style TV show he once thought about hosting. Or the line of kiddie clothing called "T Baby" that his daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, was thinking about starting until the "T Baby" trademark was abandoned last year. Below: A handful of other misguided Trump "concepts" that—thankfully—you've probably never heard about until now.More

The Young Trumps Are a Christmas Inspiration

133183Of course, you already knew that Donald Trump's kids were unassuming, salt of the earth types, but this interview with Don Jr. and his pregnant wife Vanessa just confirms it. For Christmas this year, the couple will be at their "modest" three-bedroom home for "an unpretentious occasion" with no lavish gift giving, "just a few framed photos and albums for [their toddler] Kai's grandparents and charitable donations made in their relatives' names." They also kindly share their favorite recipes with readers, although clearly Don prefers to cannibalize his own child.
