World Trader Center before 9/11
Donald Trump – the world-renowned, self-promoting P.T. Barnum of corporate America – pledged this week to wrest control from NY state authorities to rebuild the Twin Towers himself.
Now, before eyes start rolling, please remember that in the 1980s after NYC officials wasted millions over years trying to renovate a skating rink in Central Park, Trump fired them and got the job done – under budget – in just months. Indeed, despite his gauche and obnoxious persona, Trump’s record of accomplishment as a developer might compel Governor Pataki to cede building authority to him (instead of resisting like Mayor Ed Koch did over the skating rink – to his political ruination and everlasting humiliation). Besides, Pataki essentially forfeited state control this week with his shocking announcement that – after almost 3 years – all planning and design for rebuilding the world trade center have been scratched!
But before city-dwellers could release their collective gasps, Trump was already holding a press conference in which he taunted Pataki and his associates as incompetents, called their failed plans junk architecture and declared himself the only man who can rebuild what Osama and Al-Qaeda destroyed.
And, he’s deadly serious folks….Welcome to Trump City!
