Trump, Clinton, Sanders: who’s the most authentic New Yorker?

Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have one thing in common: they are all New Yorkers and have been proudly professing their links to America’s largest city ahead of the state’s key primary election on Tuesday.
They have tried to portray themselves as authentic locals and defended the “New York values” that Republican candidate Ted Cruz of Texas has derided throughout the campaign.
But the trio are vastly different types of New Yorkers.

Launching his business career with a million dollars from his father, Trump eschewed building the middle-class housing that was the foundation of his family’s wealth, and instead developed luxury properties in Manhattan. Eventually he branched into casinos and golf courses.
“I love this city, I love these people, these are my people,” Trump said recently at a rally in Long Island.
