“… world, it started after the presidential election when they saw a video of me interviewing New Yorkers of who they voted for and why. And I told the President that The vast majority of New Yorkers I spoke to on Hillside Avenue and Fordham Road in Queensland and the Bronx told me they voted for the President. They voted for him because of cost of living. And I said to him that my focus is cost of living.
