Rare Donald Trump Photos From His Childhood

The Model For Trump Tower

As Donald Trump’s fortune grew, he aimed to etch his place in New York City history by helping to alter the skyline. For years, Trump pushed for the development of Trump Tower, which was eventually approved and built, with construction completed in 1983. This photo from Getty Images shows Trump holding a model of the Fifth Avenue complex where “one of the apartments will sell for $11 million and [Trump] claims four bidders – none of them Americans – are bidding for it.”
