Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

Pardon the delay in responding—I was mostly offline for awhile.

Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe (by Hubert de Givenchy, Edith Head, and Pauline Trigère) in Breakfast at Tiffany's displayed the height of new, Coco Chanel-inspired 1960s fashion. Hepburn was uniquely beautiful and beguiling in that film. All the post-beatnik artsy girls wanted to be like her. She was a cinema idol when Donald Trump was in late adolescence.

Although Tiffany & Co. (est. 1837) had long been a New York institution of luxury chic when the fim was made, I imagine young Donald, the military prep school cadet, must have seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and loved the image of urbane elegance both Hepburn and the City of New York itself projected. Was it just coincidence that he located his personal Trump Tower right next door to Tiffany's? And named his younger daughter for its ambiance?

AOC district neighborhood labeled 'Third World' as migrants clog streets and prostitutes overrun every block

"The neighborhood has become so renowned for its prostitution that it has garnered the nickname 'the market of sweethearts"

Video at the link (We know that it's really "Illegal Aliens", not "migrants")

Democrats did promise to fundamentally change America so this must be part of what they intended.
