Not only that, but Trump also organized and paid for the gala opening of the Wollman rink.

Huge publicity with a big gold star for Trump and a big sack of ashes and humiliation for NYC chief janitor/mayor Dinkins.

More on the NYC Central Park Wollman Rink renovation by Donald Trump in 1986.

http://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/15/nyregion/about-new-york-pssst-here-s-a-secret-trump-rebuilds-ice-rink.html

excerpt:

FOLLOWING the grand opening of the Wollman Rink this week, New Yorkers can now set their sights on the gala grand opening of the Wollman Rink next week.

Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done.

‘’He built the most fabulous rink I have ever seen,’’ said Vera Banchet, watching her daughter skate. ‘’I saw Trump on TV again last night. If I may say so, he is not one to hide his light under a bushel.’’....

Read the rest of the article to understand that Donald Trump’s current behavior is nothing new. He’s a pro at this, better than before because of his media performances which came after the Wollman Rink renovation.

His zingers at the Dinkins administration and the ineffectual Parks Department are jewels.

I remember this like it was yesterday. He was always attacking Dinkie - especially in the wake of the Central Park rape. Boy, did that send him into overdrive. You know, the guy who hates women...not.

But...but...but...Trump needs to realize he can't win based upon celebrity alone! He needs to build an organization to turn out the voters!

The Donald is the same guy he was almost thirty years ago, only more experienced.

This video isn’t entirely complimentary, I see. There are some hidden barbs.

He is off a bit when he sees Trump as having a learned technique versus a naturally evolved personality. There’s nothing phony in Trump’s manner. It’s not a technique. It’s just him.
