At that time in New York City, 37-year-old real estate developer Donald Trump was finishing the construction of Trump Tower. Hughes wouldn’t be seen again until Trump was president. That seems like a kind of jarring, out-of-place paragraph in an article that has nothing else to do with Donald Trump.
