Donald Trump, Defendant

‎05-14-2013 08:52 PM

CHICAGO (AP) — Donald Trump took the witness stand Tuesday at a civil trial where the developer-turned-TV personality is accused of wooing investors into buying condos at his namesake Chicago skyscraper by promising profit-sharing, then reneging on that promise after the sales.

The real estate magnate gained famed for scrutinizing contestants and firing ones he deemed incompetent on his "Apprentice" TV show. But Trump himself was the one on the hot seat as a plaintiff's attorney sought to demonstrate to jurors that he and his companies engaged in a bait-and-switch.

Plaintiff's attorney Shelly Kulwin sought to establish that Trump was a hands-on manager, while Trump said he was a big-picture executive.

"The primary thing is to build a great building," Trump told jurors, leaning into a microphone and speaking calmly and steadily. "You can't fool people."
