I love how many of the very people who claim to be critical of Trump and his wealth are the very people who help support zoning density restrictions that have made him far, far wealthier than he would otherwise be. If they started caring for regular people instead of wealthy people like President Trump then there would be more, affordable housing, and President Trump would not benefit from "rent-seeking".

It's one thing to support laws and regulations that happen to benefit Trump, it's another to want him to be the leader of your country.

But these left-leaning people claim they want to help the working class and others and are worried about inequality, yet they are the major cause of the inequality by making housing unaffordable through rent-seeking which benefits President Trump instead. In other words, they say one thing that they are for addressing the ills of inequality and instead support a policy that creates more inequality and benefits the very wealthy whom, in words only but not in deeds, criticize.

If they truly cared about inequality as they claim, they would reverse the unfair rent-seeking zoning density restriction laws.
