Donald Trump is a New Yorker to the core and those of us from the area understand exactly what he is about.
I’m from NY, but not NYC — western. I understand what he’s about, too. I think it’s from having lived in Alaska for 20 years, where people had no problem saying and doing what they wanted to without having to do a PC filter each time they spoke. Nothing was too outrageous; nobody took things personally. You just laughed.
