New York, NY - Donald Trump Hires Lee Bienstock

New York, NY - Many in the Jewish community were disappointed three months ago when Donald Trump turned to Orthodox Jewish finalist Lee Bienstock and uttered the dreaded phrase, “You’re fired.”

But Last week Trump hired the 23-year-old as associate vice president of corporate development for his recently formed company, Trump Mortgage. Trump expects Bienstock to produce the same ideas that helped him advance to be in the top two to get a position in his company, Bienstock said. “The pressure is on. It’s the real thing.”

Even as Trump fired Bienstock three months ago, Trump planned to hire him. Right after that, Trump pulled Bienstock aside and indicated that he'd like him to work in the Trump organization. A formal interview followed shortly thereafter, and after considering many other job offers he received in the weeks following, Bienstock accepted Trump’s offer.

Concerning Trump, Bienstock said, “If he doesn’t like you, you’re finished; you might as well move out of New York – take a space shuttle if you can. But if he does like you, you’re golden.”
