    I live in New York City. Donnie was desperate to get famous since the 1980s. Back in the day, Wife #1, Ivana, was the star of the show and Donnie was the guy who carried her bags. He did everything to get his name in the local news every day, and was considered a joke by just about everyone. He lost his home town by 90% of the vote.

      Growing up, I knew of him as a desperate for attention blowhard as well. You didn’t need to be from NYC to know that but it says a lot when you guys did that (no votes) because you know him best.

        There’s an old political term in the USA. ‘Favorite son candidate.’ It means that anyone, of any Party, can usually count on winning their home district. As an example, Republicans in Georgia voted for Jimmy Carter. Also, New Yorkers are a contentious lot who seldom agree 90% on anything.
