In 1989, three of Trump's top executives for his casino (Taj Mahal) died in a helicopter crash as they left Atlantic City.

Never missing an opportunity to be a media whore, Trump repeatedly claimed that he could be dead as well, that he planned to ride with them. He made the story about him, not the three dead men.

Except it was a lie. He never intended to be on that helicopter.

Trump had the balls to attend at least one funeral. Watching the brother of the deceased break down in tears while delivering the eulogy, Trump remarked that he could "never do that." When asked about delivering an emotionally wrought eulogy, Trump retorted, "No. I could never go up there and make an ass of myself."

Anyone surprised?
