“How did this nation ever get to the point where a man once considered nothing more than a tacky, loud, nouveau-riche liberal NYC real estate mogul”
Lost me here
Don’t essayists do the most minimal amount of esearch? They just hop into the mob start drinking then spew gossip
The Trumps are not nouveau riche
“nouveau-riche”
‘people who have recently acquired wealth’
Donald Trump’s grandfather, from a good family, started the family’s building business in Queens and Long Island (that the AG in NY is trying to destroy now for reasons of her demonic possession one assumes)
Trumps grandfather died and the wife, Trump’s grandmother, ran the business. Not likes a strung out single mother but while putting her family through good schools living in a nice home in a very good neighborhood
Her son, Trumps father, Fred, picked up and ran the company, putting Trump into NY Military Academy for high school where Trump learned the foundations of the U.S. military. By the way
Trumps father built the King Kullen supermarket chain on Long Island. He wasn’t a grocer he was a builder. Those supermarkets are still there
Trumps sister was a federal Judge
Trump joined his father in the business. Trump also went to Wharton school of finance that’s U Penn, it’s Ivy League- those who won’t do their research need to hear that.
My well to do aunt who was born in a nice neighborhood in Park Slope and died 102 years later in the same house she was born in said ‘the Trumps were such a good family’
That’s not nouveau riche
The only thing nouveau about this article is the writer who speaks without knowing
The piece wasn’t really about Trump, it was about America’s truth detector, Rush L.
You ain't been around long enough to remember those very days here........
