Look, unless you lived in NY, (I have) have relatives who are from NY, (I do) it's tough tolerating many of them. They're overbearing, superior acting, and full of s**t. And if you don't push back they don't respect you.
Trump is the ultimate supreme New York SOB who is the antithesis of Midwest nice or Southern charm.
Until he ran for office he NEVER went to work in a building that did not have his name on the front door. That HAS to shape your world view. And the man can smell other people's BS a mile away. If you want to succeed in NY you better be experienced with that.
You think the politicians and the people in DC who find ways to routinely get OUR money want a guy like him snooping around their long time way of doing things? Let's not be naive.
Neither you nor I would ever be respected by most of those folks. We are nobodies who went to state schools and don't go to the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard and don't hang out with the accepted Hoi Polloi.
Trump doesn't necessarily fit with them either, until they come asking him for money for their approved charities.
Yet y'all have blindly bought into what their MSM frontmen are selling you. I question why.
