focused on my immediate and daily responsibilities. I never found myself
to be particularly fascinating.
The phones have quieted down, so I decide to go through a box I keep
beside my desk where I put articles and letters of interest to me.

Sometimes I’ll keep certain articles for years if I like them. I also keep
letters and quotes, such as Hope is not a strategy. I saved an invitation
from a speech I gave to the Wharton Business School Club about the
future of New York City. I am always honored to speak to Wharton
students and alumni.
I find nice notes from Dr. Jerry Buss of the Los Angeles Lakers, one
terrific guy; Ed Malloy, an old friend I call Blue Eyes; and Harrison

Tucker LeFrak, the next generation in a remarkable real estate family.
Richard LeFrak, the son of Sam LeFrak, has done an amazing job in the
real estate business. Likewise, his son Harrison will be one of the really
great young people to watch. I have no doubt he will go right to the top.
There’s a clipping from Liza Minnelli and David Gest’s wedding,
which I was honored to attend, even though I didn’t think the marriage had

a chance, and letters from John F. Kennedy Jr. and Howard Schultz of
Starbucks, as well as one from Clint Eastwood, a great guy and golfer. He
was my guest at Mar-a-Lago. He liked my course in Florida and wrote to
tell me that.
I come across a fax from Roger Ailes of Fox Network News. What a
job he’s done, taking them to heights they’d probably never dreamed of.
During the march toward war in Iraq, someone sent me this joke: You

know the world has changed when you realize the best rapper is a white
guy, the best golfer is a black guy, and Germany doesn’t want to go to war.
A review to savor, from Rick Remsnyder upon the opening of Trump
National Golf Course: Trump National’s par 3 thirteenth hole, which
features a breathtaking 100-foot man-made waterfall behind the green, is

one of the most challenging and spectacular holes in the world. Music to
my ears.
I love sports. I have one of Shaquille O’Neal’s oversized sneakers on
display in my office and a signed baseball from my favorite team, the New
York Yankees. I keep it near Tiffany’s drawing of a house. She’s already
into real estate.
To Donald Trump—‘I wanna be like you when I grow up.’ Shaq.
