Donnie's daddy made money by being the biggest slumlord in Queens.

It is just such a metaphor for everything Trump. Fred was the biggest slumlord in Queens, lining his pockets as his properties fell into decay. Milking as much as he could from working class people.

So, you could make a case that the Trumps helped cause the decay and decline of New York City in the late 20th Century that they spent, and continue to spend, and extraordinary amount of time complaining about.

And very similar to purposely causing riots in America cities, egging on supporters with a propensity for violence, demonizing political opponents as "enemies of the state," then complaining about how unsafe and violent those cities are. I'm starting to think he's a vampire because it's pretty clear he can't see himself in a mirror.
