Road to debate: Trump built image as he built business
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump once claimed to be publicity shy.
No joke.
It’s right there in The New York Times of Nov. 1, 1976. In the same article, the 30-year-old real estate developer talks up his millions, showcases his penthouse apartment and Cadillac, and allows a reporter to tag along as he visits job sites and lunches at the “21” club before hopping an evening flight to California for more deal-making.
So much for that shy-guy claim.
