That would be too confusing in the US since all Democrats are donkey so 
they had to abuse yellow dogs.

While I didn't grow up in NYC I was familiar enough with Trump's style 
that it wasn't an immediate cause for rejection. Trash talk is an art form 
in the City.

Ann Coulter is another New Yorker that can be abrasive. She was one of the 
first on the Trump bandwagon and one of the first off. Her columns usually 
ended with

'Miles of Wall Built Today'   0

She hasn't had too much to say about Trump this time around.
