Trump Time and Trump Savings are the keys to creating a new golden age.
Trump Time and Trump Savings are best illustrated by President Trump’s achievement with the Wollman Skating Rink in New York City.
The city bureaucracy began planning to overhaul the skating rink in 1974. It issued a plan in 1975 for $4 million. Then it spent $13 million from 1980 to 1986 and still did not have the skating rink fixed (it had stopped making ice in 1980 and was unusable for those six years).
Then-businessman Donald Trump’s apartment looked out over the skating rink. After six years, he could not stand the incompetence. He offered to fix the rink in less than six months for less than $3 million. Mayor Ed Koch and the New York City politicians hated the idea of turning it over to him. It would prove the city bureaucracy’s incompetence, but public pressure forced them to agree.
Trump finished the rink in four months – and 25 percent below budget.
When asked how he did it, Trump replied that it wasn’t rocket science. It was common sense and management. The full story is in President Trump’s “The Art of the Deal” and it is well worth reading.
