‘The Art of the Deal’
In 1988, Donald created the Donald J. Trump Foundation. Initially, it was meant to be a way for Trump to give away proceeds from his most famous book, The Art of the Deal. In fact, the foundation’s tax returns do, in fact, show that it donated money to various healthcare and sports-related charities, as well as multiple conservative political groups. “Here with my father Fred, back in 1980. My hero, role model, and best friend. #TBT” Trump said about this photo he shared.
Wollman Rink Renovation
After plenty of bureaucracy, missing deadlines, and over-budgeting, the city of New York awarded Donald a contract to renovate Wollman Rink in Central Park in June 1986. By December that year, renovations were complete and Trump had left his mark on the popular attraction with his logo on the railing around the rink. Trump donated some of the profits to charity and other public works as well.
