I'd vote him* if he renamed New York(or Washington) Trumptown.

Trumpolis, Otisburg... OTISBURG?
That would almost work as movie quote.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Personally I don't see this thread as politics even though politics is the reason Trump is in the news most of the time. But discussing something silly like this is not politics, IMO, but I'll bet that is what he is referring to.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Love it would make a great email sig
I once, many many years ago got into trouble for changing my email sig (work mind you) to 'there are 10 kinds of people who understand binary ...' - a lady called my boss and wanted me sacked because 'she didnt get it ergo I must be making fun of stupid people' .. after my boss explained to her in perfect management way that it was a particular form of humour, and 'Garth would be spoken to' he came over to me to which my response was 'I rest my case' - and he laughed till he cried - like most management back then with tech people on one side and business on the other, he had to walk a fine line, but he did a good job in general

people often remember the 'good old days of x, y, z....' - to me, the good old days of 'IT' were when 'IT' and 'The business' were equal partners - I see all too often these days an 'adversarial' relationship between IT & the business, that really doesn't do either side any good
...I guess I'll crawl back onto (or under) my rock now and dream of utopia

W10 is an exception. Since the updates are bigger than the Iso, W10 qualify to Alpha stage.
