THE DONALD IN DESTIN: As Trump Network forms, can towers be far behind?

The Trump Network has turned its attention to Destin as it introduces a new line of health and wellness products to future marketers on Thursday.

Real estate mogul turned reality TV star Donald Trump began his new endeavor by partnering with Ideal Health, a 12-year-old company founded by Lou DeCaprio, Scott Stanwood and Todd Stanwood. DeCaprio, the president of

The Trump Network, took a tour of Destin a few months ago after deciding to expand the company into the area.

“Destin is the only small city that one of the founders visited,” said Debby McKinney, who will be hosting the introductory presentation. “Most of the independent marketers in the company are starting up in larger cities, so it is really pretty amazing that Lou came on the tour.”

McKinney attended the official launch of The Trump Network, which was attended by The Donald himself, in Miami on Nov. 13. She said he introduced a variety of interesting tools that will be the envy of Fortune 500 companies.

“The Trump Network team has designed a great gameplan,” Trump said in a recorded statement on his Web site. “We have the products, compensation plan, leadership, training and support - everything you need to build a business with unlimited income potential.”

McKinney will bring Trump's strategies, as well as an overview of The Trump Network, to Destinites at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort Linkside Center on Thursday at 11 a.m. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m., and the cost is $10 for marketers.

“Trump is really going to set new standards in the network marketing business,” McKinney said. “He wants to be the biggest network marketing company.”

While he is expanding into a different realm of business, Trump is known for his real estate ventures. On Monday, he opened The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Waikiki, Hawaii. The 463-unit luxury property soars 38 stories high and features a wine cellar, library, spa and 24-hour valet and concierge services. Planning is currently underway for a Trump Hotel and Tower in New Orleans, just a few hours from Destin.

When asked if a Trump Tower could be in Destin's future, McKinney answered: “You just never know where Donald Trump is going to pop up.”
