Federal or state funding?

edit

The Washington Post says, "Then after, when the government was trying to jumpstart the construction industry to house veterans, he built even larger FHA-backed apartments and projects, like Trump Village, that were financed through public bonds issued by the state.". This sounds potentially contradictory. Was it supported by the federal government, or the state of New York? Or does this mean the federal government encouraged the state of New York to support new construction with their public bonds?Zigzig20s (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Who is the current owner of "Trump Village"?

edit

Can't believe that it is the name sake Donald. Not splendid enough. L.Willms (talk) 10:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Naming

edit

The article says that "It is the only Trump building complex named for Fred Trump rather than his son Donald". The cited Washington Post article only that "TRUMP Village, unlike every other property that famously bears that brand, was not named by — or for — the presidential candidate currently upending the Republican Party", which is quite different. I suggest deleting this line from the article or perhaps replacing it with "It is the only Trump building complex named *by* Fred Trump rather than his son Donald". 213.31.136.14 (talk) 18:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Although, actually even that wouldn't quite be accurate. Maybe: "It is the only Trump-branded building complex named *by* Fred Trump rather than his son Donald"? 213.31.136.14 (talk) 18:52, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
