==Trump City==
The Trump/Nadler feud began in the late 1980s when Nadler was in the New York State Assembly and Trump was developing the Penn Rail Yards into an apartment complex and park in Nadler’s district on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Trump called the project the “greatest ever” and the “most important project” needed for [[New York City]]. He wanted one of the buildings to be taller than Chicago’s Sears Tower so it would be the tallest building in the U.S., which he said was a distinction that should belong to [[Manhattan]].
The original plans for “Trump City” included a [[television]] studio, shopping mall, massive parking structure, and private park larger than [[Central Park]] -- and it involved moving a highway. This would be a major change to the neighborhood. Nadler opposed the development.
Trump wanted federal highway funds for the undertaking, which Nadler, who by then was serving in Congress, managed to kill. Nadler also convinced then-[[HUD Secretary]] [[Andrew Cuomo]] to stop Trump from getting a federal mortgage guarantee for his project, which Trump wanted categorized as blighted land.
In the end, Trump got the project built, which transformed the Upper West Side with new housing and a park. Aiding Trump along the way was the newly elected [[Republican]] mayor, [[Rudy Giuliani]].<ref>https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/01/03/nadler-trump_feud_to_resume_--_with_higher_stakes_139078.html</ref>
