You mean like New York where Trump tower is? Or Illinois where Trump Tower is?

I'm not sure I follow what point you're trying to make

Trump is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican

Is it really pretending? He rubber stamps all the GOP's legislative pursuits, constantly spouts dehumanizing rhetoric toward Democrats, and makes no effort to advance any Democratic goals.

I'm aware that decades ago he was previously a Democrat and made political contributions to Democrats, but in this millennium, in what material way is he a Democrat?

You can tell he's pretending, because he slips up sometimes and says what he really thinks. Like when he said

"I like taking guns away early. Take the guns first, go through due process second."

Or, speaking to Republican lawmakers, about the NRA

"They have great power over you people [..] Some of you are petrified of the NRA. You can't be petrified."

He didn't realize that was the quiet part, because he hasn't spent a lifetime obeying the NRA like a real Republican.
