And as everything always comes back to him anyway today we’re taking you on a Donald ‘Jay’ Trump and The Great Gatsby tour.
The Great Gatsby, oft-described as the Great American Novel, was first published on this day in 1925.
And social and political observers in the Oo Es of Eh and elsewhere have been falling over themselves.
To draw similarities between Gatsby and the 47th President and their worlds.
And, of course, straight off the bat, both The Donald and The Gatsby have New York in common.
Making their name and fame in glitzy Manhattan and going on to build a world and a base around them.
Which, of course, we can discover for ourselves on what we’re calling a Donald ‘Jay’ Trump and The Great Gatsby experience.
Plaza Suite
Gatsbyphiles will know well The Plaza Hotel, near Grand Army Plaza and Central Park.
Where Gatsby demands Daisy admit she never loved Tom and which sets in motion the characters’ unravelling.
And which Trumpohiles will know too that The Donald owned in the late 80s and 90s.
To channel your inner Gatsby visitors can book the Plaza’s Gatsby’s Suite Experience.
The package includes a minimum two-night stay in the art deco-inspired Gatsby Suite.
And two tickets to see The Great Gatsby Musical on Broadway and a complimentary drink at The Broadway Theatre.
For stays through Wednesday, April 30.
Trump Tour de force
And while you are in the neighbourhood explore the Gatsby of our times, The Donald.
With the OnBoard Tours Trump Tours (4.5hr bus and walking tour for under $60 adult and under $50 for kids).
Apprentice fans will jump at the chance of placing themselves at the front door of the building.
Where contestants have left with the parting shot ‘you’re fired.’
Back to the Roaring Twenties
Your Trump Tours will drive you next by Trump Parc and Trump Parc East which date back to the Roaring Twenties.
And 40 Wall Street which briefly in 1930, was the tallest building in the world.
Now Trump Place remains a particular favourite of The Donald which he calls ‘The Crown Jewel of the Upper West Side.’
The great New Yorker is at every turn with Trump International Hotel near Columbus Circle.
