I think theyre entitled to gloat to them for a while. They were gloating the last 4 years. Heck Lord refused to admit Trump even had competition in this race despite all the polling being pretty one sided the other way.
I don't know if it's a safe space. I went there and literally spoke with scribs, blake, broly. Not alot of politics per say just getting to know them and where they are. It was certainly very easy going and no hostilities were thrown.
They'd need Donald Trump outright telling people to tear shite up. Far as I know that doesn't exist.

I wonder how the Trumps will be welcomed back into Manhattan's elite circles?
I'd imagine a lot will give the cold shoulder, but ideally friends before politics should remain friends after it.
After all, its not as if he was a particularly good person before 2016, nor were his friends.

Don't want to make a new thread for this and no appropriate thread exists, so here's as good as any place:
Interesting to me, in the sense it gives some insight into how politicians think.
So this Ed Gillespie wanted his endorsement? Did he outright ask for it? And why. If he wanted to play a centrist?
And if he knew he couldn't win without Trumps endorsement, than why not "embrace the suck"?
If he was too principled to do so, he couldn't try weaseling an endorsement at all.

I dunno. Trump could also just be lying about the guy wanting his endorsement. But it lines up with other politicians in the trump era. Distancing themselves from in for a while and then trying to embrace him at another point.
Does seem like people have a habit of claiming they only worked with him, but never embraced him.
Saw a Trump lawyer on CNN recently disavow all the decisions made by the Trump admin, even going as far as to bring in his mother telling him any time she didn't like him taking a constitutional side of someone she didn't like, "What you help him for! He's like a Nazi, who's side are you on the Nazi's or the Jews?" "I''m on the side of the Constitution." "Don't give me that! You have to make a choice! The Nazi's or the Jew's"
As a way of assuring people he knows Trumps a bad guy but believes he has a technical merit, I guess?
The lawyer also assured the anchors he wasn't even being paid for it, and any money he did receive would go to charity (I wonder if a Jewish charity, given his weird story from his mother and the fact the anchor was also Jewish and actually seemed to soften on him a bit after the explanations)
