- Donald Trump was featured prominently in four major New York Times stories during the 1970s. “The first Trump to appear on the pages of the New York Times was, interestingly enough, a man listed among the wounded after an 1862 Civil War battle. […] Donald Trump (presumably no relation) made his first appearance 111 years later. Donald, then 26, appeared in a 1973 article with his father, Fred, discussing the latter's plans to move into the Manhattan real estate market. […] Donald Trump's next appearance in the Times, later that year, was less flattering. ‘Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,’ the headline read, detailing allegations that Trump's outer-borough properties violated the Fair Housing Act. […] In 1975, Trump made the news again. He was developing a mid-town hotel -- and was lamenting that it would not be ready in time for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. That remodel came under fire eventually from other developers, given the generous tax breaks Trump received for it. Trump's first standalone profile in the paper came in 1976. ‘He is tall, lean and blond,’ Judy Klemesrud wrote for the paper, ‘with dazzling white teeth, and he looks ever so much like Robert Redford.’” (Washington Post, July 30, 2015)
- 2014: New York Times columnist Jim Rutenberg described Trump as “an uncle in your family who … somteimes embarrasses you at family functions, but you still love him. “I returned from lunch on Tuesday to find that my colleague Jim Rutenberg had dropped a curious object on my desk: a note that was written with a Sharpie right atop our Clay Aiken interview from the Sept. 28 issue and that was apparently signed by a seismograph. Once I read it, I understood why the signature didn't even flirt with legibility - it didn't have to. It was Donald Trump's.
