Billionaire executives don't usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception.

富翁总裁通常不会问及做工作的人对这个工作的意见。我父亲是个例外。

On every one of his projects, you'll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians, he'll ask them for their feedback, if they think something should be done differently, or could be done better.

在他的每个专案中，你会看到他会和主管、油漆工、工程师、电工交谈，询问他们的回馈，了解是否他们认为事情可以另辟蹊径或精益求精。

When Donald Trump¹ is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort and excellence².

This has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization.

At my father's company, there are more female than male executives.

Women are paid equally for the work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out.

女性与男性同工同酬，当她成为母亲，她会受到支持，而不是被拒之门外。

Women represent 46 percent of the total U.S. labor³ force, and 40 percent of American households have female primary breadwinners.

As researchers have noted⁴, gender⁵ is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage discrepancy⁶ in this country, motherhood is.

正如研究人员注意到的，性别不再是产生最大工资差距的因素——母亲身份才是。

As President, my father will change the labor laws that were put into place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce⁷.
