Ideas and Opinions from Donald Trump and TrumpU Faculty.
Elton John's Wedding
Chairman, Trump University
There's a lot to celebrate this holiday season. Elton John married his long-time partner David Furnish on December 21. That's the first day that civil partnerships between gay couples became legal in England under the new Civil Partnership Act.
Elton credits David with helping him kick drug and alcohol addictions that nearly killed him. The pair has been together for 12 years. I know both of them and they get along wonderfully. It's a marriage that's going to work.
Elton made the ceremony a small private affair involving only his and David's parents as witnesses. The couple just didn't want to make a big deal out of the wedding. They really wanted to keep things low key.
By all accounts, Elton and David had every tabloid and every entertainment magazine knocking at their door begging for exclusive rights to the affair. By some news reports, the couple turned down an offer of $11 million to record their wedding for British television. But Elton said, Our relationship isn't up for grabs. It doesn't come with a price tag."
In any event, I'm very happy for them. If two people dig each other, they dig each other. Good luck, Elton. Good luck, David. Have a great life.
(But because I wasn't invited, do I still have to send them a toaster?)

It is legal in Canada and to think that David if from Scarborough where I am from. Everyone deserves to be happy even Donald! Hey, Donald the transit strike is over.
Greetings from Ukraine!
Note: A toaster may be a little old fashioned. How about a teletub
Well! I appreciate the fact that they denied the press but all the same...I believe someday they will have course to share testimonies about thier marriage and what it involves.
Though alot of people may have sent them toasters but I still think snice you were not invited, I would still suggest that you make your own toaster very very very motivative and business wise. Remember you are the guru.
Take it easy on them Trump.
If you are what your public image suggests, I present you with this humble challenge - can you return used sandpaper to your local hardware store?
If you can pull this off, you're the man.

T'was the Night Before New Years
And All through the Land
Not a Creature Was Fighting
No Single Demand
In All of It's Wisdom
A Power of Thought
Descended Upon US
And revealed What it Taught
There is No Heaven
Other Than Being At Peace
This DisHarmony Rampant
Must Instantly Cease
Now With This New Program
Of Brainware Installed
All of their Hatreds
No Longer Recalled
All that Had Gone on
For Eons Before
Were Instantly Wiped Out
And No Place To Store
The Entire Population
Were Soon Told This Story
How Nice to See Mankind
In All of It's Glory!
I suggest that the programs offered hear be reduced greatly towards free so that more and more people can take advantage of whatever information here that they can -
If this is not done voluntarily either someone will come and offer the information for less money or soon it will be given way for free somewhere else -
In addition I believe that we are seeing a great transformation as to the rules of real estate values because of these changes and it might serve us well to carefully weigh the intelligence of being aware of new trends to come in the real estate world -
Not one of the students here (apparently in the thousands) has contacts me to discuss the book I had mentioned elsewhere entitled - New Rules for the New Economy
If Mr. Trump does in fact know the couple personally, he should send them a wedding gift, but not be so immodest as to publicize the gesture.
Unfortunately I don't know Elton yet but I do hope his Civil Partnership works out even better than his previous situation and wish them luck.
The first day was always going to have the media spotlight on the high profile partnerships and I would guess they knew this so it seems they were wise to keep it as low key as possible.
Perhaps these civil partnerships will also help with the overall acceptance of freedom of personal choices and equality since, it has made me think more about why I am challenged to understand and accept that whilst we are all the same, we don't and won't all make the same natural personal choices.
But, being straight, what would I know about it anyway, it sure would be a dull place here if we all accepted, understood and agreed on everything.
Perhaps now the media will give it a rest about Gay Rights etc. as well, and spend more attention on the rights of the starving and less fortunate etc.

"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," said Elton John, who cemented his relationship with David Furnish in 2005. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off."
