Yes, I read about that. I also saw the video of him learning the jobs of the people who worked in his hotel. He was making a bed the way a maid showed him, and cleaning the bathroom sink as she instructed him. Sure, it was great publicity for him, but it came across as real. And in all my extensive work experience, I have never encountered a higher up who would dream of taking instruction from a lowly employee on how to do their job. It would never enter their mind to do such a thing. But Trump thought of it, and did it. He cannot be a terrible person.
That's why people like Trump: he's actually comfortable with ordinary people. He lacks the "not our kind, dear" snob instinct that most of the rich have (and which leads them to be Marxists). He's got the same gaudy taste as a low-level rapper driving around on gold rims bought on installment, and he doesn't care who knows it.
(That's also why his McDonald's stunt worked like gangbusters: he was completely comfortable there and he actually likes the place. Contrast with John Kerry who stopped at a Wendy's during the 2004 campaign because one of their handlers wanted John to try and look normal and his wife blurted out that she didn't know what chili was after looking at the menu).
