But is that really him? Comments are being moderated, so the one I just left hasn’t appeared yet. Trump writes:
Recently former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski was convicted for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. It was his second go-round in court — the first one ended in a mistrial. You may remember Mr. Kozlowski from the original trial. A video of his lavish party on an Italian island, allegedly paid for with company funds, was last year’s scandal du jour. The retrial was a more low-key affair, but it served to remind us of how much business corruption there has been over the past few years.
The people at the forefront of these squalid affairs give business a bad name. Maybe they’re greedy, maybe they’re “ethically challenged,” but ultimately they’re incompetent. If you have to lie, cheat, and steal, you’re just not doing it right. My career is a model of tough, fair dealing and fantastic success–without shortcuts, without breaking the law.
Well, if that’s really Donald Trump blogging over there and accepting comments, I look forward to reading what he and his readers have to say.
Update (8/12): It’s been 24 hours, and my comment and trackback still haven’t been posted! My comment was benign, definitely not troll material. Advice for bloggers old and new moderating comments: if you can’t or won’t approve comments in a timely manner, don’t enable them at all.
