What IS It With New York?

Wild guess: if you don't know what it means, it doesn't affect you. Also, too, as well: didn't you get a business degree? Aren't you a "stable genius" businessman? If you don't know what that means, why should you be in the White House again, even as a tourist? Et tu, Brutus? Know your audience. Election interference? No shit. He pauses to repeat phrases on the teleprompter to make it sound spontaneous. But it's like a third-grader reading a physics textbook. But this is worse: A) he still thinks tariffs are paid by the countries importing the goods (the idea of tariffs is to block foreign goods from domestic markets) B) he implies he wants to replace taxes with funds from tariffs C) No, he can't commit to legislation ("what's that?") for aid for childcare. The money will just take care of it, magically. D) he's a blithering idiot. E) that the New York Economic Club didn't rise up en masse and tar and feather this idiot and deposit him on the street, is a black mark on the Club (what, are they all unrepentant Friedmanites?). I'm serious. If that didn't do it, this should have: And again: "Who da fuck needs "legislation"? We'll have so much money we won't be able to spend it all!" To put it mildly, this is not a policy. It's not even an idea.
Think of what Trump could do with all of the money.

So New York City has given us: Donald Trump; the New York Times; and the New York Economic Club, who neither laughed Trump off the stage nor demanded his immediate censure as an economics imbecile.  Tell me again why NYC is so important?  I mean, what have they done for us lately?
