His mother, my grandma Dorothy in Coney Island with plastic covers on the sofa and wing chairs, would not tell me where he was. She lived her life in linoleum. She was used to the brutal architecture of Trump Village, a lower-middle-class complex built by Fred Trump.
Elizabeth Wurtzel’s grandmother (the mother of the man she believed to be her father) lived in a Trump development. Because of course she did.
I went to yeshiva on the Upper West Side. The principal was also the rabbi of our shul and has since moved on to founding one of the largest settlements on the West Bank.
Because of course he has.
