Vincent Molinari, the Founder and CEO of FINTECH.TV, sat down with Eric Trump for an interview and took a moment to first thank President Donald Trump for helping him when he was just a start up business.
“I’d love to give your dad a shoutout,” he told Eric before turning his attention to the camera to address Trump.
“Mr. President, in 1998, at Burlington Capital – 59th floor of 40 Wall Street – nobody believed in me,” Molinari recalled. “I was an entrepreneurial kid from Queens New York [with] no balance sheet, and you backed me.”
The Wall Street icon continued, “You gave Joe De Sena – now Spartan Races Joe – the shot and that propelled me [and] my family, created an entrepreneurial company that we are able to exit, and really was the epitome of you believing in entrepreneurs [and] giving the little guy a chance.”
Molinari added, “I always wanted to say ‘thank you,’ so thank you. Thank you from my family, and so many other entrepreneurs who I know you quietly have helped over the years.”
Trump saw the interview, and appears to be touched, as he shared the clip on Truth Social and replied, “Thank you, Vince Molinari. Congratulations on all of your success.”
