I was born, raised, & educated in Newark, NJ. Most of my family still live there, & many are small business owners. Newark is diverse, real, & resilient, and I’ll take Newark over Bedminster any day of the week.
Trump, in Iowa, refers to "stupid people like Cory Booker," then mocks the condition of Newark, New Jersey, where Booker's tenure as mayor ended seven years ago.
