The lingering smell of Russian interference in our democratic elections, even on a lobbying basis, is enough to scare most Americans. The fact is that Trump was an ingratiating weasel of a businessman, begging favors and access from Russia (and Putin) -- to extend his brand, his hotels, his golf courses, his wealth.
Trump is a small kind of businessman -- building not an empire -- but a fiefdom big enough only to wedge his name within. Trump is no Hilton, no Carnegie, no Roosevelt, no J.P. Morgan. Trump is actually more of a "localized distributor" for ties, cuff links, and booze. The Trump brand of "elegance" is a misnomer. Just gold packaging, lots of glitter, and ordinary taste(s).
Trump grew up in a great city -- New York City. But he failed on almost every count to understand why it is so great. Not because of the moguls; not because of the personalities of its majors; not because of it "lower mogul class" (whose names get mentioned often in the Daily News or the Post, not so much in the Times). Trump certainly seeks the spotlight -- and now having tricked his way into the "presidency" -- he has it. If we can survive Trump -- we can survive anything.
Resist, resist, resist!!!!!!!
