Mr. Bloomberg nailed it with the 'long story short' version.
Individual New Yorkers 'mileage may vary'.
Personally, I believe Mr. Trump has succeeded in pulling off 1 of the greatest con jobs in US history; first by securing the nomination, & then by winning the highest office in the land.
& just as his Trump 'University', his so-called 'charitable' foundation, & his fraudulent business model (& so on ...) is being revealed to be simply the sales tactics of a charlatan, so will his run as POTUS.
Just as Mr. Trump was the pitch man, the face, the reason people signed up for his many & various fraudulent schemes which preyed upon the unwary, so too the major & underlying reason for his nomination of the GOP, & votes.
As a New Yorker, it's sad to see. The Donald Trump from the 70s & 80s viewed as a respectable businessman (granted he started on 3rd base) deteriorated into merely having the 'showmanship' of PT Barnum without having any of the goods.
My husband is a born and bred NYCer whose entire family on one side have been New Yorkers since the state was founded.
They all absolutely loathe him.
The other side of his family are all Trump supporters...they are Californians.
And the odd part in all this is, they hated him when Trump was a Democrat even.
I think if the liberals hated Obama, the Trumpers would have loved him.
Says a lot about New Yorkers. Not surprised. The ones I know from there are bigoted anti Christian, anti Conservative judgmental leftist who believe that they are the ones who are right.

This a question for people that live in NYC that probably have more knowledge of Trump than others in the country. I recall Michael Bloomberg saying "I'm a New Yorker and I know a con when I see one"

I am a NYer who attends Church every Sunday. NYC abounds with active worship communities. I do know atheists but I have actually met few AntiChristians actually. Only a small minded person would extrapolate the few people they may know to project to be representative of NYC, a very diverse, place.
He will be anything. If he can see down the road money can be made ( scammed).
Sort of like Trump said, "I am a Globalist and a Nationalist"
A Globalist when it comes to making money even if it is selling out my country.
A Nationalist when it comes to making money.
