CNN: Jared and Ivanka are poised to return to a Manhattan that no longer welcomes them

Most people who don't live here can't fathom exactly how gigantic NYC is. Manhatten is just a small part albeit with most of the big buildings.
State. Not city. NYC is blue as fuck except for a couple pockets.
Considering Kushner owns a fuckton of buildings in addition to having free access to Trump's buildings, they have nothing to worry about. Heck, his company bought the famous Watchtower building that used grace the Brooklyn skyline. Rich people travel incognito and go to fancy parties/galas here. If they take the subway or go to a park and get recognized? Different story.
This is actually true. Manhattan was created by the fake news media and the deep state in order to get more votes for the democratic party. Era is just in on the conspiracy.
Only real part of New York is the Bronx, and I live in 'Brooklyn'.
Every day I wake up in a trailer, scarf down a bacon egg and cheese sandwich from the bodega on my way to the soundstage that's been set up for the tourists. I am stationed outside of Barclay's, staring at my phone, or angrily walking back and forth in front of Shake shack

They'll gradually worm their way back into high society. Kushner alone is so filthy rich that he can continue to buy respectability.
Exactly, now more than ever, the Trumps are bad optics to any old money person, they might even become more of a pariah in those circles, which is the only circle he has ever actually cared about joining.
Wait what?
You thought hundreds of movies / shows / songs / games all were set in or referenced a made-up city that just looked like New York?
Don't believe the others dude. The city was made up by Stan Lee for Spiderman
Never heard of the Manhattan Project? Are you thinking of Gotham?
I would assume so. If not, they'll have to spend a shitload on personal security. There's no way they will go anywhere without being surrounded by bodies.
I love that moment where an entire thread sees one post and pivots.
What is going on in this picture? Why are they all looking in different directions?
Yep. And who needs other friends when you have the Wolverine to stand beside you.
wut?
you still have to walk around the city out in public sometimes. They will probably constantly get yelled at.
I'm from Canarsie and left Brooklyn to return to Florida. This had me giggling so hard. I'm buying drinks if I ever see you in downtown Brooklyn.
The only places people would actually want to live here in Ohio are the only places that massively voted in favor of Biden. If they're coming here, they'd better have a real fucking taste for corn.
I believe most of the Trump voting areas also have the highest covid infection count.
I have zero expectations that either are going to face any sort of long-term repercussions in the elite socialite circles both of these assholes run in.
Nah it definitely isn't wrong. If you think the Uber wealthy are going to reject them in any meaningful capacity then idk what to tell you. Plus you're ignoring the fact that most of the "old money" people you're referring too are republicans themselves. The idea that old money families are liberals who hate Trump is laughable.
Are you just not aware that Trump himself has been trying to get into that club before even his presidency but has not been let in?
Its not that old money are going to reject him, they have done so already for years, they are just gona do it harder now
Also, it doesnt matter what party old money is, old money care wayyy too much about optics and being low key, Trump just scores bad on both points, being his friend has no benefits either socially or monetarilly either.
Like you said it's all about optics, even if they publicly disavowed Trump they still probably voted for him. And this article and my post are about how their life will change because of his presidency i.e. them not being welcomed back in circles they were already in prior to him becoming president. You saying they were being rejected by certain fragments of the community before he was elected is completely irrelevant.
The way their life will change is that now the extended family will be scorned as well. Ivanka was looked as the wonderchild of the family of a gaudy incompetent bussinessman before the presidency, now that its over the whole family is complicit in the bad optics and so high society as a whole will trend towards avoiding them in social settings or when offered to do bussiness with them.
Also i think you are really overestimating how much rich people in cities vote for republicans, Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer ran as Democrats.
Democrats are the party of socially liberal but fiscally conservative rich people since forever
