    Not to defend Dementia Donnie here…but as a New Yorker, he probably knows them as bodegas?

    Also fuck him, ofc poor people don’t know deductions. We can’t show 0 income while hiding our assets like his island friends.

      As a non-american, and a non-native english speaker, I’m fully aware of what a corner store is.

      This is just further proof of Trump’s amazing ignorance and poor grasp of the english language.

        I guarantee he doesn’t know what a bodega is. But he would like saying it, make a racist comment about it, and then would claim credit for inventing the word.

        It’s not even a language issue, it’s just complete lack of experience with how the rest of humanity lives.

      I live in Michigan where we’ll call them party stores and corner stores, and I still know what a bodega is. No point in defending him, he’s really just an idiot.

        He doesn’t know any store. He claims he invented the word “groceries” and then told a story about an old woman who wanted three apples but couldn’t afford it so she “put one of the apples back in the refrigerator”. He also says that we have to show ID to buy groceries.

        He knows nothing and we have to suffer for it everyday. It’s not bad enough that they are evil but they are also so godamned stupid

      I’m a New Yorker-in-law, and I know what a bodega is, but I also know what a corner store is. The name describes it perfectly.

      Only a virtuosically stupid moron like Trump would have an issue with it, because his entire vocabulary is about 300 words, and half of those have to with money.
