Major Press Profiles

1984: The inaugural issue of a magazine called Sports Financial Network featured a profile of Trump as its cover story. “Dick Barnett was known as a brainy sort during his 13 seasons in the National Basketball Association, and now, a decade after he retired from the Knicks, he is out to share some of his insights with those he believes could use them most - his fellow professional athletes. He is the publisher of a new magazine, Sports Financial Network, which is designed to help athletes - both active and retired - cope with the financial decisions and other problems that Barnett believes few of them are equipped to deal with on their own. […] The magazine made its debut with a 32-page September-October issue that included a primer on tax planning, advice on how to choose an agent, tips on diet, an article on the dangers of cocaine and a cover story on Donald Trump.” (New York Times, December 24, 1984)
1989: Trump was the featured cover story in the summer edition of Fame magazine. “The summer issue of Fame, the magazine dedicated to just that, gets deadly serious with an analysis by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Zucchino of anti-apartheid activist Winnie Mandela's peculiar behavior of late. Even the cover piece on Donald Trump is marginally meaty.” (Los Angeles Times, June 2, 1989)
