Yes, but he isn't a coastal elite or at least doesn't hold political views of that class.

Lol so you went from 'celeb' to 'coastal elite'? You are cherry picking

A large percentage of people unfortunately do care what their favourite celebs think.

They largely fail though - https://www.npr.org/2018/10/08/655599374/taylor-swift-endorses-democratic-candidates-in-tennessee

I wouldn't count that as a failure, Republicans have held the senate position in Tennessee since 1995. It's not a guarantee that a celeb will help you win an election but it can help you garner more votes. The result was also much closer than the previous election.

U.S. judge dismisses Trump's lawsuit to block subpoena for tax records

A U.S. judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit by President Donald Trump that sought to block enforcement of a grand jury subpoena for eight years of his personal and corporate tax records.

A U.S. judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit by President Donald Trump that sought to block enforcement of a grand jury subpoena for eight years of his personal and corporate tax records.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said granting the relief Trump sought would be an “undue expansion” of presidential immunity.


Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Trump, told Reuters the president would appeal the ruling and seek to delay enforcement of the subpoena.

The subpoena is related to an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. In a court filing last month, Vance said his investigation was tied to “alleged insurance and bank fraud by the Trump Organization and its officers,” among other things.


A spokesman for Vance declined comment.

Trump, who is campaigning for re-election in November, has fought efforts by lawmakers and prosecutors to obtain his tax records, which should shed light on his financial dealings. He has also defied decades of precedent as a presidential candidate by refusing to release tax returns.

Nasty stuff.

Though pretty much 90% of GoFundMe/Kickstarter/Indigogo projects are pretty much fraudulent.

Seeing the likes of Bannon and friends involved, I really wouldn't be shocked if there wasn't money laundering masquerading as the donations as well.

Trump really knows how to pick them.

LOL



The cover-up started a few weeks ago.

Trump says he disagreed with privately funded border wall. The builder got $1.7 billion in wall contracts from his administration.

President Donald Trump now claims this privately funded border wall in the Rio Grande Valley — touted as the "Lamborghini" of fences — was built to "make me look bad," even though the project's builder and funders are all Trump supporters.

President Donald Trump now claims this privately funded border wall in the Rio Grande Valley — touted as the "Lamborghini" of fences — was built to "make me look bad," even though the project's builder and funders are all Trump supporters.

President Donald Trump complained via Twitter on Sunday that a privately constructed border wall in Texas was a bad idea and poorly done — not mentioning that his administration has awarded the builder a $1.7 billion contract to build more walls.

TIL a guy who inherited over a billion dollars, runs a high profile firm, with his own private jet, lives in New York (which is on the coast) in a building, named after himself, is not a "coastal elite".

This is what it means:

It isn't too difficult to understand that there is a rich progressive group of people that tend to gather around the coasts.

An analogy is the North-South divide in the UK.

Is Trump a coastal elite?

Look up what Howard Stern said about Trump and how Trump is a coastal elite and what Trump truly thinks about the people who voted for him.
