Trump Denies $10,000 Tip
DONALD TRUMP has denied tipping a Santa Monica waiter $10,000 (£5,000) on
Monday (03Nov07), insisting that the “stupid” restaurant was simply trying to
get publicity.
The U.S. tycoon, 61, who has just had proposals to build a $2 billion (£1
billion) golf complex in Scotland turned down, rubbished the allegations,
saying he wasn’t even in California at the time.
The Buffalo Club restaurant claimed Trump left the enormous tip after dining
on pasta and cappuccinos worth $82.27 (£41), and have published a copy of the
receipt on the Internet.
The real estate mogul told New York gossip column PageSix, “This was done by
the stupid restaurant to get publicity. It’s not my signature.”

I saw the receipt with the tip and signature on it… I would think if it was fake, then Donald would be suing, but I guess time will tell!
