1. Obviously he isn't courting the votes of low-income people.

But we know what he really means by "low income people."

4. And his followers who are low income, but only just for now, keep

raving about how he does great things for the rich. Smdh

6. Those aren't the low-income voters he's warning his fans about.

His low-income voters, the ones who hang out in diners in small towns waiting to be interviewed by reporters from the NYT, don't want those other low-income voters moving in next door to them.

[GPV]

7. Oh, I heard the dog whistle. Just pointing out the irony of people voting against their interest because

they don't see things as they really are.

[GPV]

2. He can just bite me. Everyone's gotta live somewhere!

3. What did he do while president to prevent it? Zoning is a local issue.

5. Oh, dear! "put something in"

Hope she surfaces soon.

8. So, the Weirdfather will bring back red lining.

Got it.

I am willing to bet $10 ( which is more real money than Trump has seen in a long time ) that NOT Trump, his immediate family, his inner circle, his campaign staff, or any other person in the upper crusties of the Turd Reich knows an actual suburban woman in an informal way.

No, Noem doesn’t count.

9. So your domestic help, teachers aids, local service workers and laborers, etc.

Will be much harder to obtain, and when you can, expect to pay a lot more for the distances these less fortunate people you rely on to travel to perform common tasks you need others to perform to continue your lifestyle. Where exactly does Trump propose all of the low income people live, especially because the middle class would shrink even more with project 2025 policies?

Also, does Trump not understand not all suburban women are living in large estates rolling in money? Many of today's suburbs are less well off than the urban centers they surround. Suburbs are cities.

12. Yep. Trump, a NYC landlord, is just another part of the problem. In recent years...

...property speculation and the overall financialization in the economy (the mortgage "bundling" we saw in the '08 crash) has led to housing prices so out of control that cities couldn't attract needed labor. That led to a rather grudging acknowledgment that something outside of the workings of normal market mechanisms had to be done, or there would be no workers to take the jobs. Eventually, laws and zoning restrictions were changed, and a new kind of affordable housing was built: "workforce housing". The term has become somewhat of a euphemism for "out of control local housing market", but the need for it is obvious to anyone not in total denial.

10. What did you say? I couldn't hear you over the dog whistle. nt

11. This is why the right wing is so fucked up.

They hate homeless people, but they oppose the low-income housing developments that help reduce homelessness.

Can’t have it both ways, assholes…
