Trump is recreating the New York of his grimy heyday -- the 1980s, where racial turf wars and even racist murders, mobsters, police abuse and intimidation of black people including teenage boys, blight and fear were everywhere -- especially in Brooklyn and his native Queens.
Donald Trump doesn't know much about America or the world. He knows his old New York, the Palm Beach that rejected him, and he knows his dreams of being an oligarch like the goons he sold condos to to keep from going under financially. He has not grown as a person in 40 years.
He is rebuilding his old world, down to trying to fool, bully and beg the press into playing along and shining him up like the tabloids and TV did back then. We are trapped in this hideous cycle that in the 1980s, meant a lot of violence. Heads up.
