For Jacobo, discipline in sports shaped discipline in business. The same patience it takes to finish a triathlon fuels his work in real estate development and trading.

Trump, thirty, leonine, and three-piece-suited, was chauffeured around Manhattan by an armed laid-off city cop in a silver Cadillac with "DJT" plates, while talking on his hot-shot car phone and making deals. "He could sell sand to the Arabs and refrigerators to the Eskimos," an architect told the Times. That architect was drawing up plans for a convention center that Trump hoped to build in midtown.
