Trump is as catatonic as a hood ornament through the grilling; either that, or an artist just out of frame has been hired to sketch him, a blueprint for Trump's own personal Rushmore, to be built next to Mar-a-Lago. (Trump next to three other busts of Trump.) It's worth remembering - even for New Yorkers like me, even for fellow Queens- bred individuals like me - that much of the "people's billionaire" reputation that Trump has leveraged for years is based on a fiction: As Joyce Purnick (also a Queens kid) helpfully points out, the act that first put DT on the map - wresting from the city the renovation of Central Park's Wollman Rink in the 1980s, and bringing in the job ahead of time and under budget, turning him almost immediately into a superhero businessman and entrepreneur - didn't happen that way.
