    CHICAGO (AP) -- An 87-year-old grandmother took on billionaire Donald Trump. And on Thursday, she lost.

    Jurors sided with the real estate mogul-turned-TV showman in a weeklong civil trial focused on Jacqueline Goldberg's claim that Trump cheated her in a bait-and-switch scheme connected to condos in a Chicago skyscraper he built.

    The federal jury in Chicago returned with a finding in Trump's favor after deliberating for more than five hours over two days. Goldberg, of Evanston, had sought damages totaling around $6 million.

    As the judge read the decision in court, Goldberg showed little emotion herself — though her attorney, Shelly Kulwin, slumped over and buried his head on a courtroom table.

    Outside court, Goldberg, clutching an Agatha Christie detective novel in one hand, told reporters she has no regrets about suing Trump.

    "I think I have exposed him for what he is. I had to try," she said, adding that she hoped the litigation would dissuade others from doing business with Trump.

    Several hours later in a phone interview with The Associated Press, Trump heralded the verdict as "a complete and total victory."

    Asked about Goldberg's comments, he bristled.

    "She's not glad she took me on — because she lost," the famous executive said. And he called her comment about hoping to drive business away from him "disgraceful."

    Its hard to prove a bait and switch. That's why you should always have a hidden camera/microphone when necessary.
