Giuliani tried to sue New York Magazine for its ads on buses back in the Nineties with a tagline like "Perhaps the only good thing in New York that Rudy hasn't taken credit for."

Upon reflection, Trump has tried that already. He repaired the Wollman Ice Skating Rink in Central Park and promptly appropriated the name and there are signs hanging on it calling it the Trump Wollman Rink. Emphasis: he repaired it, didn't build it. Like your contractor putting his name on your house for caulking the tub.
