She did so, however, only after living an incredible life — that was in large part made possible by her move to NYC.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/meet-the-hero-of-the-marriage-equality-movement?utm_term=.lykOpvdq4#.mo4dv3Mxk …

There's something sad about how people (absurdly) think I'm saying that like, Trump and Edie shopped at the same grocery store. I'm not!

Most leaders would have used such shared lives as a simple note of commonality in a remembrance at her death. My point is: This was easy.

If Trump had interest in such things, there would have been many obvious ways, rhetorically, for him to draw on that commonality.

I have lived in the same house for ten years and I don't even know my next door neighbor's name, let alone some rando that live blocks away.
