Donald J. Trump played a critical role in transforming midtown Manhattan, reshaping its skyline and contributing to the rise of a new wealthy elite. While often credited for superficial achievements, his impact on New York's economic landscape is substantial. Trump's innovative developments attracted the world's elite to what is now known as the Billionaire's Belt, effectively replacing older social structures with a new plutocracy. His presence contrasts with the detached lifestyles of today's wealthy, highlighting both his influence and the complexities of his legacy in the city.

He set the stage for the ascendance of New York City's new plutocracy, the .01 percent who have rendered the city's old aristocracies obsolete.
