Donald Trump’s staff raffle doesn’t leave too much to chance.
Santa’s naughty/nice list is nothing compared to Donald Trump’s.
Some of Trump’s employees who worked hard all year are richly rewarded — and those who didn’t live up to The Donald’s expectations got zilch. The Donald himself confirmed to Confidenti@l that last week, he held his annual staff holiday party at Trump Tower, where he held a gift raffle filled with major goodies.
“Lucky winners go home with flat-screen TVs, $ 5,000 checks or iPads,” one well-placed insider tells us. “He personally picks a name and if the person he picks doesn’t deserve that particular gift, he puts the name back in the drawing and picks a new name. Some people go home with nothing.”

The Donals played Old St. Nick, which wasn’t a good things for underperforming employees.
Trump confirmed that he likes to “richly reward” staffers who have worked so hard for him all year long.
“They’re a great group of people and deserve to be rewarded for terrific service,” he told us Monday.

Will Governor Andrew Cuomo actually be forced to campaign against Donald Trump?
Meanwhile, on the political front, we hear Trump — who is mulling running for New York governor — had underlings organize a top-secret internal team to gather info on who votes in the various neighborhoods throughout New York, a source who spoke with one team member tells us.
“He had a team put together paperwork for him about voter preferences in various New York towns,” says our insider.
Trump says although he wasn’t directly involved with putting a team together, there are a lot of people who may be doing work in order to convince him to run on a Republican ticket.
The real estate magnate, who tells us running in 2014 really “is a possibility,” says, “I’ll make a decision sometime in January.”
The big D is set to meet with more than 30 state Republicans the second week of January as he mulls the idea of a Republican run against Gov. Cuomo. The meeting is a followup to a Dec. 4 pow-wow at his office with 11 GOPers urging him to run.
But public service may be a long shot for the “Apprentice” star.
Based on his past attempts at publicity for his Trump brand, he may find it hard to get potential voters to take him seriously, as he often is accused of garnering attention for projects like “Celebrity Apprentice” and the “Miss Universe Pageant.”
WARNING: ‘WIVES’ MAY BE PACKING
Considering Bravo has made millions off its “Real Housewives of New York” franchise, it should not be surprising that the cast, who make the show so delicious, would expect a fabulous holiday gift from the network. But they were left disappointed when they found they made Santa’s naughty list.
“We got a carry-on piece of luggage,” one cast member tells us. “It was in black by Swiss Army, I think. Is that a brand? I will check the label … it looks like a cross; I have no idea what this cheap thing is sitting in my hallway!”
Over past holiday seasons, the network has gifted the ladies with iPads and iPhones.
“We were all expecting at least wonderful flowers or a little blue box from Tiffany’s to turn up,” our source says.
With cast turnover happening fairly often, maybe it’s Bravo sending the ladies a message: Pack your bags!
