When Donald Trump was 18 years old, he attended the grand opening ceremony of the Verizano Narrows Bridge. He was with his father and his friend who was the architect for the bridge.
The big ceremony included the governors of NY and NJ, as well as the mayor of NYC.
Not once did they mention the name or give recognition to the architect of this masterpiece, Othmar Hermann Ammann. The guy was furious.
This day, November 21, 1964 is when Donald Trump decided to put his name on everything he did so he got the recognition.
I read this in the original unauthorized biography of Trump written by Jerome Tuccille in 1985.
My best friend (much older) did the biggest work of art at Notre Dame university in 1966 and didn’t have his name on it, about 10 years ago during its restoration I got a ceremony and and a plaque with the artist’s name on it installed.
