Roy Cohn built it for him.
Cohn used his connections in New York to get Donald on his way.
Trump used his daddy's name and cash, and Cohn's connections.
The first building that Trump built in New York was what is now the Grand Hyatt near Central Station. Here is how Cohn fixed it for Trump:
By this time, Trump was in the thick of trying to make the first major move of his business career—the ambitious refurbishment of the crumbling Commodore hotel in the then-down-and-out area around Grand Central station. Trump wanted to turn it into a lavish Grand Hyatt, and did. The only way he was able to do it, though, was an unprecedented 40-year, $400-million tax abatement from the city. And the only way he got it was Cohn. Cohn had been tagged as “a legal executioner” in a 1978 piece in Esquire. The meticulously reported and roundly unflattering profile prompted Cohn to call the writer, Ken Auletta, who was amazed to hear Cohn ask if he could buy 100 copies. “One of the most reptilian characters I’ve ever met,” Auletta told me. For the Hyatt deal, Cohn called upon his deep relationships with the mayor, Abe Beame, and one city hall staffer, Stanley Friedman, who practically singlehandedly pushed through the last approvals and then promptly went to work for Cohn’s law firm.
If the race case was Trump’s introduction to Cohn, and the prenup a blending of the personal and professional, the Grand Hyatt was a master class.
“Cohn’s exploitation of Friedman to secure the Commodore booty was an unforgettable lesson for Donald,” Barrett later wrote, “exposing him to the full reach of his mentor’s influence and introducing him to the netherworld of sordid quid pro quos that Cohn ruled. This almost ritualistic initiation not only inducted Donald into the circle of sleaze that engulfed Cohn, the bountiful success of it transferred the predatory values and habits Cohn embodied to his yearning understudy.”
Cohn, the New York Daily News said in 1979, was “the city’s preeminent manipulator,” a “one-man network of contacts that have reached into City Hall, the mob, the press, the Archdiocese, the disco-jet set, the courts and the backrooms of the Bronx and Brooklyn where judges are made and political contributions arranged.”

Cohn fixed this massive deal for Trump around the same time that Son of Sam David Berkowitz was attending child sex parties for a CIA satanic cult in Cohn's house.
How was Cohn able to get Trump a 40-year, $400-million tax abatement from the city of New York when New York City at the time was in deep financial dire straits and facing bankruptcy?
And what did Cohn expect to get back from Trump? Or perhaps the question should be, what did Cohn's friends expect to get back from Trump?
And of Trump Tower:
Cohn helped Trump get a $20-million tax abatement for Trump Tower, which was built almost entirely of concrete, at a time when the New York concrete industry was controlled by various mob associates, who played nice with Trump thanks to his go-to go-between. “I knew Trump quite well,” John Cody, a key concrete boss, said in Barrett’s book. “Donald liked to deal with me through Roy Cohn.”
Cohn was apparently Trump's greatest friend:
Hanging on the wall in Cohn’s office was a photo of Trump, according to Gary Belis, the former director of public relations for Fortune magazine, and Trump had signed it. “To Roy,” he had written. “My greatest friend. Donald.”
But when Trump found out abut Cohn's AIDS problem, Trump dumped him.
Trump did not build his company from scratch. He had massive help from Roy Cohn (who organised child sex parties for a CIA satanic cult, as well run homosexual and paedophile entrapment rings for the CIA), and from the mob.
Trump was bailed out and saved from personal bankruptcy by Alan Greenspan 25 years ago.
These kind of people serve other people who expect repayment in kind.
Has Trump repaid them?
Or is he now fronting for them to repay them when he gets into the White House?
And why are Infowhores not concerned about this?
