No, friend, I was telling you how NJ folks where I grew up say Long Island.
It is Lawn Guyland. Trump came very close to that pronunciation tonight.
Trump’s accent is not foreign to me at all. Neither are his use of phrases—very NY to me.
I grew up seeing the skyline of NYC from my town. Straight shot on Rt.3 or Rt. 46.
It's NOT what he says, that is "strange" to me, it's his accent, which I admit to NEVER having heard before...not anywhere. *shrugs*
You may have been looking at the NYC skyline, but I was living there.
