Trump Was Always a Joke in New York

The Atlantic ^ | November 4, 2019 | Peter Mehlman

NYS has lost almost half its House seats over the last sixty years.

Bet we lose another 1 to 2 this time around.

Note to the Atlantic: The joke’s on Albany since it can’t make taxpayers stay.

[Fresh Wind]

What the HELL is with these people? They have NO JOY in their lives.

They had eight years of joy from 2009-2017. Now it's our turn.

I was once dining with (insert name of famous deceased sports person) and they said the guy that wrote this article was always considered a clown.

Seriously doubt Howard Cosell said what he claims either, but its so easy to attribute statements to dead people.

[CptnObvious]

The why not consider Peter Mehlman, the author, to be a Joke too.

Anyone can be considered a Joke if you think about it. Everyone has faults, foibles and quirks. So if you really want to you can label anyone a joke. The trouble is that using such labels can bite you if the person has gravitas, and Trump does.

So can't Peter Mehlman a JOKE since he wrote this?

[WashingtonSource]

It’s called projection. The real truth is that bitter, nasty Peter Mehlman was never a real New Yorker. He has no class. His brain is fried.

[Dahoser]

Every one of these NYC clymers tripped over themselves to be seen with the President when he was known as The Donald until he stepped into the political ring for real in 2015. Now they write or say crap like this and then tell each other how great NYC is because unlike where the great MAGA unwashed live "out there," NYC has wonderful things like the Wollman Rink.

TRUMP OFFERS TO REBUILD SKATING RINK—NY Times May 31, 1986

"Maintaining that the rink's troubled history had been unnecessary, Mr. Trump said, ''I don't want my name attached to losers. So far the Wollman Rink has been one of the great losers. I'll make it a winner.'

A 1980s New York City Battle Explains Donald Trump’s Candidacy—Bloomberg.com September 29, 2015

Nov 1, 1986 - New York City, New York, U.S. - Donald Trump holds the red ribbon steady while Olympic ice skating champion Dorothy Hamill and Scott Hamilton cut it during a gala ceremony down in the sunken, tree-shrouded gulch just off Central Park South to celebrate the finished renovation of the Wollman Ice-Skating Rink in Central Park. Trump paid for the entire renovation out of his own pocket, with the understanding that he'd be reimbursed upon completion up to an agreed-upon limit. The finished rink came in at US1.95 million, Trump said, which was US750,000 below the limit.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Purse vitriol. He might just as well have written “I hate Trump” a hundred times.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Pure vitriol.

Some loser that 99.9999999% of the country never heard of saying that Trump was a joke. Trump a billionaire living in Trump tower (and now the white house) and this guy probably still living in his parents' basement has the unmitigated chutzpah to say Trump is a joke. However, I suspect his attitude is typical among New Yorkers. They appear to live in a different universe than the rest of us with completely different realities. I guess that's what happens to your mind when you live in a human sized termite mound.

[DarthVader]

How about the Atlantic is a joke of a publication?

[FrdmLvr]

Peter got help on this one from his 13 year old niece.

[grey_whiskers]

You spelled “Marry Melania” wrong.

[Prolixus]

Add that to the list.

[DownInFlames]

Yep. I can see his strategy now. Leave NYC, let it go into the dumps, then come back and buy Trump tower and a lot of prime property for pennies on the dollar with tax abatements for 20 years. That’s the Trump way.

[VietVet876]

Make that a twat.

"Cosell said, “I’ve never met anyone luckier to be born rich.”

I wonder if Cosell actually said that, or is Peter Mehlman just making that up, like they do everything else.....

[Cecily]

Is Peter related to Larry “Bud” Mehlman from the Letterman show? Both are cranks.

[vpintheak]

This article is the perfect example of a smarmy leftist, and why most people hate smarmy leftists. Just hateful and arrogant.

[stanne]

I can’t read this hate filled article. My guess is it’s sour grapes for Trump leaving New York.

That should inform people what will happen if the leftists get in and attempt to confiscate large percentages of money from billionaires who provide much to their communities. They employ many people and pay taxes. Take more and they’ll cut that off

The title? I lived in Manhattan in the eighties as a lot of us former suburban recent college grads did. Trump was someone snobby leftist suburban women reacted negatively to because of his loud personality. Why did they care? He was building and renovating buildings in Manhattan he was good at that and at building wealth. He was serious. He had a lot of women around him. Some Women flock to wealth.

He loves this country. Look at his interviews through the years.

Many People hate him They pretend that’s because he was a joke

The reason they hate him is because he is pushing back leftists and their ideology. No leader has done that since Regan. Leftist have become strong since then

I suggest we take lessons because Trump will be gone in five years.

Just to rub a little salt in his wound, I am going to point something out:

I voted for Trump BECAUSE I thought he was a joke. I figured that he could not possibly be worse than Obama.

I have been pleasantly surprised at what he has done.

GO TRUMP!!!
