Claire is a winner in our Ask Donald J. Trump contest!

Today we showcase Claire Huckfeldt of Colorado and her winning question.

About Claire (in her own words) . . .

Claire Huckfeldt enrolled at Trump University in July 2006 because she immediately recognized and wanted to team with the elite mentor for wealth building, entrepreneurship, and real estate investment education - Donald Trump. She was not going to miss the golden opportunities he and his experts offer at Trump U.

Claire also enjoyed a close relationship with an amazingly wonderful parent - she credits and treasures her mother for her successes just as much as Mr. Trump credits his father. She had no idea this common thread would surface a year later in Mr. Trump’s answer to her winning question in this contest.

Claire got the real estate “bug” when purchasing her home and later opened her own business in 2006. She looks forward to a successful and profitable future as a result of her association with and studies through Trump U. She is honored to be among the winners of this contest and is grateful for the generous education Mr. Trump has extended to her as a result.

Claire’s winning question . . .

"Regarding your past and current business success, to which of the following educational backgrounds would you credit most of it: your military school, sport team, or Wharton economics?"

And the answer from Donald J. Trump . . .

"I would have to give a lot of credit to my father, who was my mentor. I learned from him starting at a very young age, which I think was invaluable. I visited construction sites with him as a young boy, and later worked with him. I watched everything he did, and he was a very disciplined and successful man. I would not undermine my formal education, but his example was a great education in itself. He was the structure for my own success, and military school, sports and Wharton rounded it out."

Coming later this week - more winning questions! Stay tuned.

Thank you all, too. Ina, you're the first one I asked about, you are a winner anyway as you know, but I really enjoyed your comments and appreciate your support. I will visit your website. If you come to Colorado, I'll give you a free belly dance lesson! Rajesh, I will visit your site also and thank you as well. I'm in great company. Thanks to Cedric too - very cool name! You are correct. Wow, just having my picture this close to Mr. Trump's has been so exciting. Thank you, Mr. Trump and Barry. ;)

I have to agree with the Donald on this one, my father is and has been the most influential component in my life, and yet my son would tell you his mother was the most admirable quality in his life, such is what the divorced community holds in store in our future. Too many fathers went on holidays during the most formative of those years.

Hats off to we mothers too !

Hi to All (again),

Just a note to say that I hope you do get to go to New York, Ina, and maybe you'll meet Mr. Trump - who knows? For those of you who came into this part of the blog without knowing the running history, Ina at one point assumed I was a man, as I hid my identity and only used a username throughout the contest and I guess I sounded pretty cut and dried. We laughed, but assumptions can lead you down the wrong road, can't they? Best to ask the source. Good luck to everyone! ;)

Hola como estan, the truth that they are right, my father is a man who could not receive an education like me here in Uruguay, but the fact that through his business skills and hours you spent on work could pay for my education to me that he could not have and am very grateful that people are very important to me.
