Donald Trump: Whose idea was it to do a tight suit like that??
Nicole: Ultimately, Carey had chosen it. He was kind of in charge of men's bathing suits.
Donald Trump: I have a great body. I really do. I have a great, great body. I could wear that suit, Carey, and you could wear that suit. But nobody else at this table could wear that suit. Do you understand that? edit »
