Subscribers to The Crotty Farm Report know that I drove from my CrottMo redoubt in Omaha’s Little Italy to New York to watch and celebrate Donald Trump’s reelection on November 5. Here is my historic report from Times Square:
Subscribers may not know that I stayed a few more days to enjoy the afterglow of Trump's triumph. In my peregrinations around Gotham, I talked with a variety of working-class people––from Korean greengrocers to Haitian cabbies to Nigerian Uber drivers to all manner of bellmen, concierge, and service personnel––who ALL said they voted for Mr. Trump. The outpouring of love for the Queens-born native son was so tremendous that Trump increased his vote percentage in New York state by over six percent. He has made the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens much more Republican-friendly, though these outer boroughs still have a long way to go to match Trump's near-40% voter advantage on Staten Island. But if the predictions of my Rainbow Coalition of Trump supporters in Times Square are accurate, it’s coming and soon.
As I was preparing to fly out of New York City after a Washington Square Park talk with investors about the prospects for the post-election Trump Trade, I saw former CNN anchor Don Lemon interviewing passersby. As I stopped to watch briefly, Mr. Lemon motioned me to hang around. The temperature had turned suddenly chilly. I was in shorts! And those Lululemon tops are a bit too form-fitting for a “dad bod” like mine! When it finally got to my turn, I was so cold, so ashamed of my attire, and so eager to get going I was talking a million miles an hour! I had to move around to stay warm!
Well, the rest is history. The Internet got a hold of the interview, making me an overnight sensation. No doubt Ms. Lemon thought he was making this “old white guy” into a poster child for misogyny. But, as friends have noted, he didn’t realize he was walking into a buzzsaw of debate coach and comms director prowess, LOL. Who knows, maybe Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will take notice and make me their Press Secretary for the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Coda: After the video spread worldwide, Mr. Lemon quit X. Coincidence? You decide!
