Is he though? For someone from inherited wealth he didn’t really go to the “right” schools (before transferring to Penn) and never managed to marry any woman of pedigree or wealth. It’s kind of curious. |
DP. He's a coastal elite ONLY in the sense of having been born wealthy and having remained wealthy. As you point out, however, he's not an insider or member of polite society. In fact, whether in NY, DC, or Florida, the elite have shunned Trump and his entire family for decades. No one in Trump's family (not him, his siblings, or his children) was able to marry into the WASP elite or WASP-adjacent circles like a distant Kennedy cousin or something. Marrying the son of a convicted Jewish felon wasn't what Trump wanted for Ivanka, but no elite family was going to let her in. The closest they've ever gotten is the lady Donald Trump Jr. just married and, for whatever reason, she has a reputation as damaged goods who wasn't allowed to marry into the elite hence why she's settling for being Trump Jr.'s second wife at age 39. Tucker Carlson has talked about the ostracism of the Trump family from way back and claims Trump has been deeply angry about it for decades. He claims Trump settled for the Jewish segment of NY and Miami society because they were fellow outsiders from WASP society like him and he had to make the best of things. |
I'm no Trump fan. Don't have to convince me. I'm not a snobby poster who looks down on southerners and midwesterners and thinks we need a coastal elite who's wealthy, goes to the best schools, and lives a millionaire's lifestyle. |
The Kennedys are in no way WASP elites. |
The Kennedys are Catholic. Not WASPs. |
NY native here; Queens does not equal coastal elite. Are you from NYC? |
Now from coast of Florida. |
I meant Trump is now from coast of Florida. |
I remain convinced that was "leaked" as a smokescreen for his closeted gay rumors. |
Trumps are very clearly German Jews. From brothel racket 100 years ago to housing to being mentored by Roy Cohn to his brother being in a Jewish fraternity at Penn to Jewish wives to all of his kids marrying Jews.

Another sham political marriage before running for higher office, usually ends shortly after they served their purpose, see also Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Haley Stevens. And of course Cory Booker, Tim Scott, among others. |
And? Queens is not a bastion of coastal elites. |
Kamala is still running. |
I also fully believe he hit an ex in the face at Cannes. And I have never cast a vote for a single Republican. He gives toxic alcoholic BigLaw told he’s special all his life nightmare vibes. I hope she dumps him and finds better for herself. |
You're welcome to say and think what you want. I'm not a Trump supporter, but Trump is a wealthy New Yorker and now a wealthy Floridian from the coast of Florida. I don't think the Kennedys are true elites either. Nor Kamala Harris, but they're all out of touch with the concerns of most Americans. |
