That is called "New York".  These guys came from the old school and the streets.  Kid Trump used to get in fights all the time with the bigger guys who were a lot older than him on the jobs while his dad was renovating all those apartments in Queens 60 years ago.  Trump would get his butt kicked and his dad would not intervene, and let him get "schooled" by tough Irish guys, etc.  He learned a good lesson and he is still not afraid of a fight.  Only difference is now he wins most of them and is brilliant when he prepares for the fight.  You saw that in the election. How he was there is not how he is in real life.  He did the impossible, and won it all.  He got all the attention, the TV-time, etc., for free.  In the process he took them all out, and they were professional politicians.  He went anti-PC while they clinged to it, and lost.  Trump won it all, not with luck, but with the most brilliant campaign ever seen.  They are still butt-hurt over it.  You are watching a master at work.
