4. Trump "is from New York"
Tue Dec 30, 2025, 09:05 PM
Dec 30

Trump has NOTHING to do with NYC at all other than the people he shafted, the black kids he demonized.

I am not from NY, but think I get them. NY peeps are insanely proud of their city, you can be exactly what you want to be and no one will give you shit, it's a place full of people LOTS of people and tons of amazing shit to do, you can experience so much in NY within 3 blocks then it feels like you traveled 100 miles. Whatever you fancy you can get it...food, culture, arts, music, you name it, the world ---or NY --- is your oyster. Maybe the LEAST monolithic place on planet earth. NY wants variance and SORRY Pal, NY loves them some diversity, because maybe that doesn't make it "better" (I argue it does) or "more right", but it sure as fuck makes it more interesting.

Donald Trump is a poser. He isn't NY, ever. I have visited NY multiple times, I honestly don't like people, but goddamn I love me some NY. If I have mis-cast New York set me straight.
