A perfect description of the Trump family if there ever was one.

I was a New Yorker for 12 years and Donald Trump was always looked down upon. He will never be accepted into the NY elite no matter how much money he has or how much power he gains. New Yorkers can spot a poser a mile away. He will never be anything but a joke.
