TRUMP: Actually, the best view is from Harlem. It's Central
Park North, which nobody really thinks about. From up there, you're
looking through the park and down at Manhattan. To really see it,
though, you would have to go up there in a helicopter or plane.
That would be the nicest view.
AMERICAN WAY: You don't strike me as a casual-Friday
kind of guy. Every time I see you, if you're not golfing or
something, you're dressed in a beautifully tailored suit. Where do
you get them?
TRUMP: I use Brioni for suits. And I get them off the rack.
Custom-made clothing is a waste of time for anyone with a normal
body.
AMERICAN WAY: Let's say you wrap things up one
morning and realize you have an afternoon off in New York. Where do
you go?
TRUMP: That hardly ever happens. But when it does, I play
golf. I either go to Trump National
Golf Club in Westchester or
else Winged Foot [in Mamaroneck]. I've had a membership there for
many years, and it is a magical place that's been around since the
early 1900s. The people there are special friends of mine, and they
love playing my course as well.
AMERICAN WAY: Those are two great courses, but
they're both private and you can't get on them without a membership
or a friend who belongs. What's a great public course in the New
York area?
TRUMP: There are no great public courses. Bethpage is as
good as it will get. I used to play there when I was 18 years old.
I waited in line from 2 in the morning to get a tee time at 10. I
used to sleep in my car and think nothing of it. Then, if I was
lucky, I had an eight-hour round.
AMERICAN WAY: Where do you buy gifts for Melania,
your fiancée, to make up for all the time you spend on the golf
course and at the office?
