nytimes: Trump and the City

I’ve met Donald J. Trump precisely once, at a quirky kilt fashion show I was covering for “Nocturnalist,” my night life column in The Times, in April of 2011. Mr. Trump, who is of Scottish ancestry, spoke but a slim sentence to me:“So many of our leaders come from Scotland,” Mr. Trump said then. “They’re warriors.”Now that he is our leader, I have seen little of Mr. Trump, though I spend significant time at Trump Tower, traipsing around the pinkish marble lobby of 725 Fifth Avenue. I cover the intersection of Mr. Trump and New York City, the town where he was born and where he lived most recently in the top three floors of his black glass tower.
