There is among some of the denizens of Trumpworld a misperception of the way Donald Trump was seen in New York prior to his running for president. Many in Trumpworld believe that Trump was an admired and respected real estate developer, until he ran as a conservative, and then “liberal” New York turned on him.

That is pure nonsense. Trump was never admired in New York, even if he wasn’t always particularly loathed.

In the 1980s Trump was seen primarily as the spoiled scion of a somewhat r****t real estate tycoon, with delusions of grandeur. That was manifest in his dabbling in so many failed endeavors — Trump Airlines, Atlantic City Casinos, the Plaza Hotel, GM Building — many of which he overpaid for — which contributed to their failures. That left Trump the butt of many jokes, that’s for sure, when people thought of him at all. When people did think of him it was because he was pushing himself in front of the public, unwelcome and uninvited.

All of that came crashing down upon him after his bankruptcies in the 1990s. He was never regarded with anything but contempt since then.

You see, if Trump were a great business success, Wall Street would be lining up to throw money at him. They won’t even return his calls, and they haven’t since 1995. That means the only people who will lend to Trump are far more shady than anyone in Trumpworld would care to admit.

Trump was never what he pretends to be in New York (and what Trumpworld so desperately needs to believe that they ignore all of the evidence into Trump’s incompetence and corruption) — a great real estate developer. He was, and is, considered a joke among the actual real estate moguls in New York, although his father clearly was a player in the Outer Boroughs.

How can that be, you ask? Trump’s name is plastered on buildings all over New York. How can he not be a great real estate developer?

Because he doesn’t own these buildings. His family business manages them, and part of the management agreement was to put the Trump name on the structure. That is why it is so easy to strip the Trump name from these building today, as disgust at Trump as so-called president has created a massive anti-Trump backlash against him. Besides, many of us always assumed that there was something illicit behind the financing of these projects. Trump’s ongoing debasement before the Russians as president merely reinforces that view.

So for most New Yorkers, Trump was just a punchline for many decades, a view that was confirmed by his ridiculous posing on “The Apprentice” (Trump’s not a real estate mogul, but got to play one on TV). That anyone took this r****t, corrupt imbecile seriously was always hard to understand, but nothing he has done since the e******n of 2016 has altered that view — and plenty that he has done has reinforced it. You will find New Yorkers who love Trump, both in the city and throughout the state. There is no doubt about that. In Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn, however, they will be in a very distinct minority.

For most of us he is what we have always thought him to be: a corrupt moral reprobate, financial bankrupt and, now, admitted sexual predator. But it also turns out that he is a tool of the Kremlin, so it’s even worse than we thought.

We are waiting patiently, however, for his term to end. Then we will be happy to see him back in Manhattan, on Court Street. Under indictment.

Fiat justitia ruat caelum.

I've lived here for 50 years and have seen it, w***e s*******y, only once or twice. Both times by people who have died of old age now.

Fox does have some f**e news, that's why I quit watching it 2 years ago. CNN is by far the worst at "reporting" f**e news, the rest of the MSM follows closely behind. I'm not sure if there are any news journalists left. I want the facts, not their opinions, I can make my own decisions.

The made up narrative of the left, that the "United States of America is systemically r****t" is just that, made up. If it is systemically r****t why didn't the last administration do, or say, anything about it? Why are white people giving up their "privilege " and pretending to be black? It's a pack of lies used to divide us, pushed by the "woke" fools. Just like identify politics and critical race theory. We all belong to the human race and should be judged by our individual actions not arbitrary unchangeable characteristics.

Politic is the business of lying when it is needed. All politicians lie and Trump is not alone. He may have lied but not such as the jerk Bush, or puppet Obama.
"The British Empire's minions" are the deep state's representatives within the US government and media. The members of the congress both Republican and Democrats are the British empires minions. You may have noticed that those criminals in congress as Republicans have not done their job as they supposed to do it and stand behind the president. They just followed what the f**e news specially Wapo, NYT, CNN etc... told them; because they are belong to the devil's and that devil brought them to that status. One example, look at the Graham and his hell-bound friend McCain both Republican. The first shows that he is Trump's loyalist while you could see from the senate report of 1000 pages about the Russian collusion full of issues that have nothing to do with Russian collusion issues and just repeat of the same lies the Obama spies said earlies. The later as the most stupid senate member, never accept Trump as elected president of this great nation whom the real Americans v**ed for him in 2016; and he brought the Christopher Steele, MI6 agent, non-substantiated and full of lie dossier from Canada to the FBI and was blaming Russia. He also called the Syrian Terrorist, former Al-Qaida members, moderate rebels, plus he called the so called facist of the Ukraine as Liberatores.
For the last 70 or so years this great nation's institutes have become organized crime gangs. From Military industrial complex savants, to the Judiciary system, prison industrial complex, Medical industrial complex, Media industrial complex and so fort. All of them are the British Empire's minions. Except a few good personals within these complexes the rest are just bunch of criminals who have turned this great nation as an empire which was not the aim of the founding fathers. USA was not established to be an empire. It was established against the empire but the devil British ruled this nation several times since its establishment and patriots such as Lincoln, FDR, and now Trump liberated it again. I hope this help you understand what I meant of the minions. You may not believe me and it is ok. You could read or hear to VIPs, Veterans Inelegance Professionals for sanity, a group of former intelligence officials who have exposed most of the wrong doing of the British minions. Bill Binney former technical director of NSA claiming that based on his knowledge there is no prove of Russians hacked the DNC plus more. Every one of us should do our "homework" before listen or read the so called f**e news parroting. When I read or listen to the f**e news, I could see what is their aim, what are they trying to convey. I see them nowadays just as desperate as never been before. I hope the great people of this nation understand their tactics and never believe to their bold lies and nonsenses. I live almost 40 years in this great nation in different parts of the States and never seen sort of "W***e S*********t'" or r****ts; I found Americans are the best with love and generosity that you could find rarely in other parts of the world. I never believe that Americans are r****t or this or that. Yes there are some bad people in every society but in general Americans are what they are and will be as such no matter what the f**e news spreading. Nagib Sayed

We all have the right to read or listen to whomever we want to but without fore knowledge about the issue we may take the words of the so called main street media - Western Media in general -- as sort of proof which are not really. For instance, if they claim that Trump said this or that and blame him of d******eness; I listen to Trump first and learn what he really said; as always I see what he does instead of the media telling me what he did. Based on my experience and knowledge, the establishment through its criminal institutions such as the CIA, FBI, MI6 and so fort put the agenda out and let the "mocking birds" do the parroting for them. We should follow what they said and look for proof out of it. The so called western intelligence agencies lied about the 911 attack which was done by Al-Qaida; or Iraq had WMD, or currently they are claiming that the v***s was created by China or spread from there and this and that sort of barking. None of their claims have come as t***h yet. Osama Bin laden as the rest of the Saudi royal members were s***es of the British empire and they could not drink their water without the British permit. I as an Afghan-American know who the "S.O.B" Osama was and how he became famous. He was a political asset of the British empire and had established his office in London back in early 90s and his office was closed three months after the 911 attack of 2001; exactly on Dec 15, 2001. Also, Iraq was blamed for 911 and had WMD, up to now there were no evidence of such claims. So why should we accept the words of the so called spies that spread lies. I don't and I want proof of their claim and I don't need them to tell me they think so; Those i***ts thinks so because their master are telling them to do so and we are free of that master and we need proof. The Russian collusion of the so called Obama's administration conspiracy or ObamaGate, that Russia influenced Trump win in 2016 were totally wrong and had no proof as of today despite 40 million dollars were spent by the 911 of 2001 culprits such as criminal Muller and his pig-head groups of servitudes. I never accepted their claim from day one. Similarly the s**t head of the congress with their impeachment saga; I noticed that Trump's change of policies made those British minions to bark and cry foolishly. As their claim had no substance that is why it collapsed and left a shameful mark on their face.
Trump is liberating this great nation back from Anglo-American confederacy established after the dead of the great FDR. Trump acts as Lincoln did back in 1860s. So we the people should be smart and spend some time to gather more information on the top of what the Parrots are singing for us. If we do that then we will be free of brainwashing methods that the devil British empire's minions are trying to do. I am sure the majority of American understand that but some low class, left wing i***ts needs to be educated. Nagib Sayed
