Trump said his father, former President Donald Trump, revitalized and rebuilt much of New York City’s skyline, as the city fell on hard times in the 1980s and 90s.
“My father built the skyline of New York City: And this is the thanks he gets for doing absolutely nothing wrong.”
In one of the more noted instances, the elder Trump partnered with Hyatt Hotels in 1976 to revamp the ailing Commodore next to Grand Central Terminal.
He also feuded with then-Mayor Ed Koch in the 1980s over major projects like Wollman Rink in Central Park, leading the Democrat to claim he wouldn’t “believe Donald if his tongue was notarized” and Trump quipping Koch’s mayorship was unique in being both “corrupt and incompetent.
