@ThomasWictor @Arrowgeune @realDonaldTrump Criminal elements. He had to contend with Bed-Sty, little Italy! Chinatown, to name a few. Organized crime and the unions were the worst. Cement shoes, open street muggings and murders were just part of the nightlife. I remember sleeping to sirens every night

@ThomasWictor @Arrowgeune @realDonaldTrump Been spilled on the very streets that have been paved to create the greatest city on earth. But now with Trump as President, a cloud looms, over his head, and the city he built. But I see the same DTin office that is dealing with world leaders and I know “he got this” 😉
