Aboard the Staten Island Ferry, a snapshot of Donald Trump’s New York - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags:
Philip Rucker of the WP provides this exceptional account of people on the Staten Island Ferry in New York. Construction workers who like Tump's toughness to tackle terrorism, jobs, and other issues. Others who sees Trump's name on properties all over Manhattan, and think he will bring prosperity. And the female worker at a food pantry who says she sees too many immigrants and looks to Trump to fix this. Staten Island is one of New York's boroughs with a population of 500,000 mostly white people that is not connected to city by subway, is heavily Republican, with new immigrants creating community tensions.
On a Staten Island Ferry before the New York Primary on April 19, 2016

A Hungarian immigrant who like Putin, a female worker at a homeless pantry who says there are too many immigrants at the pantry, a disabled construction worker who dislikes Trump's abortion comments but supports him, other construction workers who admire his toughness on terrorism- these are some of the faces on the Staten Island Ferry of people favoring Trump because he would fix things even though some have doubts they are willing to suppress. Other faces are the Latinos, blacks, and millenials in the background who despise Trump. Staten Island is cut off from subway access to the city and is one of the boroughs of New York with a mostly white 500,000 population.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
