Trump represents the full cycle, really. New Amsterdam -- great city, built by northern and western Europeans. Great ocean access. Hell in the winter. Dutch traders and shippers. Perfect for finishing and packing products from New England, Chicago, upstate NY and elsewhere for shipping to Europe. All that accounting, paperwork, banking, general business -- great financial center. The Empire State.

That is, until the Democrats got themselves organized post civil war. By the 1920's NY had become the ideal center for organized crime. Trump's class of business oriented people started seriously getting out after WWI. Trump symbolizes that tough and stubborn Yankee in him that hung on to stay and fight. Like I say, his leaving closes a hundred year cycle. Similar things are happening in California. The real story is not so much that the well off carry the tax load, as it is that 60% or so pay very little or nothing. The Democrats know all this. That's one of the main reasons for this sudden love affair with communism. They're desperate.

Half or more of the population paying nothing, many receiving benefits, some illegitimately. Got their own plantation of poor, govt dependent people in NYC.

While we are on the subject of Wall Street, by driving out the old WASP establishment, or believing they will or have, the great unwashed of southern Europe and the Mediterranean, believe they can simply replace American culture and industry with their own, a kind of revived global empire.
