How shy is Donald Trump?

When we were last in New York, there was little to suggest that DT was the shy and retiring type.

When we were interviewed by a freelance reporter for the New York Times, he was writing a piece about a new restaurant at the top of Trump (not Tmrup or *****) Tower.

DT also has a number of casinos bearing his name, and his face currently appears on billboards all over Time Square promoting the US version of 'The Apprentice'.
I know what he looks like. You know what he looks like. We both know he is about as shy and retiring as Alan Sugar!!

So, when watching an episode of 'The Apprentice' last night, I was again somewhat surprised by what I saw. DT went out and about in a black stretch limo, stopping at the sites where his "apprentices" were working to assess how well they were doing it. He made no attempt to hide his identity. Anybody there at the time would have been aware by the size of the entourage that DT was "in town" and that filming was going on.

So why, when the camera panned round to the front of the limo was the number (or licence) plate pixelated out?

I could guess what it said...'TRUMP 1', or 'TRUMP 2' or.......'TRUMP 46'! But whatever the number I'm pretty sure it would have started with TRUMP!
