Trump Tower

Speaking to Republican activists here, Donald Trump touted something other than his potential presidential bid and hit reality television show: Trump International Hotel and Tower, a gleaming luxury high-rise and his sole Las Vegas venture. "It's one of the greatest signs of all time," Trump said Thursday of the building's marquee, rising 64 stories above Las Vegas Boulevard. "You drive down that Strip, what do you see?" "Trump!" the crowd shouted in unison. "We got it built, it's doing great and we're very proud of it," the real estate mogul said, in remarks that were otherwise laced with profanity and attacks on President Obama.

Well, you knew, you just knew, that something otherworldly was going to be produced from Tuesday night's Times Square pizza summit between Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. And this morning, Trump came clean. He said Palin wants him to run for president. Appearing on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday, Trump said Palin "would love to get me back. " Palin and her family took a break from their bus tour of America's historical sites to share some slices with the Donald on his home turf because, according to the Daily Beast, when you go to New York, "you want to say hi to Donald Trump," Palin said.

Trump Wants Tower in Brazil: New York real estate magnate Donald J. Trump said he wanted to construct a Trump Tower-style building in Brazil. "What I enjoy most is building great buildings. I think my most likely investment in Brazil would be building a Trump Tower-type building . . . a glamorous, super-quality building," Trump told a weekend news conference in Sao Paulo. He said the tower would be built there or in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's biggest cities. The Trump Tower is a Fifth Avenue skyscraper where Trump has his headquarters.

After stopping by the Liberty Bell, Sarah Palin and her magical mystery bus planned Tuesday to visit another famous American icon: Donald Trump. The Times’ Robin Abcarian -- currently chasing the bus in a car -- confirmed that Palin will meet with Trump Tuesday evening at the Trump Tower in Manhattan, and the two will reportedly have dinner. Beyond being a cable news network executive's dream pairing, Palin and Trump have much in common. Both have teased the public incessantly about their 2012 plans.

After the verdict was announced Tuesday, Tony Kornheiser of the Washington Post wrote, "Now comes the hard part for the USFL, figuring out how to spend the one dollar." "Not much momentum in one dollar," added Kornheiser, although he noted that at least it will now get you a gallon of gas. Otherwise, he said it could get you: -- A Good Humor, most of a Haagen-Dazs cone, half a Dove Bar. --A bottle of beer, as long as it's domestic. --One Godiva chocolate. One designer cookie. Not both.

Turn on the TV. Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night. But wait. Sit back. Try to relax. Enjoy the ride. Reflect, if you can. Listen. Take nothing for granted. Even if--make that when --you find the experience mystifying or irritating, you'll still find it provocative and stimulating. That can't be said very often these days about opera in America. The subject, of course, is Peter Sellars.

It was one of those sunny, spacious apartments that make Manhattan life look so glamorous in the movies but that the average New Yorker rarely sees in real life. The address was the fashionable United Nations Plaza complex, and the apartment had a prime East River view, two bedrooms and a formal dining room. But the prosperous couple who put the apartment on the market for $1.7 million were more than slightly chagrined when the first offer came in at $620,000. They dropped their price to $1.3 million, but the bids continued a determined slide until the couple's attorney declared that he would buy it at the prices bidders were talking about.

Defensive end Dexter Manley of the Washington Redskins, still a holdout, told Christine Brennan of the Washington Post he was looking into other options. "Maybe I'll be signing with the Memphis Showboats," he said. "It's true that their league folded. Well, maybe I'll still go into that league. It'll be just me and Donald Trump. We can go one on one. Or, better yet, I can go to work at Trump Tower. Maybe he'll let me run the elevator.

Donald J. Trump is not known for his modesty. He names a lot of things after himself. There are the Trump Plaza & Casino and the Trump Castle & Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.; the 68-story Trump Tower office and apartment building, the Trump Plaza cooperative and Trump Parc condominiums in Manhattan; the Trump Plaza condominiums in Palm Beach, Fla., and his 282-foot Trump Princess, the world's largest private yacht. Now he's got an airline bearing his name. Will Paint Airliners "I put my name on something when I really feel that it is going to be right," he said at a news conference at New York's swank Plaza Hotel--which he acquired a year ago but has not named for himself, presumably because there are already too many Trump Plazas.
