Shut the fuck up, Donnie!

Likely no Mom and Pop stores there. And maids did all the shopping.

but like I said corner stores are not a thing (at least not using that term) in California. And even I know what they are. What a detached, self involved life he must have led going back even to his childhood.

When he did the cosplay at the McDonald's drive-up, he was unable to tie his apron, and someone had to tie it for him.
He's never lived in the "reality" that most people experience.

85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates, Queens

Until he was four years old, Trump's family lived at 85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates, an affluent neighborhood in Queens, New York City. The house, a six-bedroom Tudor-style, was built in either the 1920s or in 1940 (sources differ) by Trump's father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer. During the presidential campaign, the house was put up for sale in July 2016 by an unnamed New York restaurateur. Initially listed at $1.65 million, the house was purchased by Manhattan real estate investor Michael Davis for almost $1.4 million in December. According to The New York Times, the house was sold in March 2017 for $2.14 million to "a limited-liability company represented by a law firm that specializes in Chinese foreign investment". In 2017, the house was listed on the house rental service Airbnb for $725 per night. After an attempt to sell it for $2.9 million in February 2019, an auction planned to conclude on November 14 failed as no qualified bids came forward.

In 1950, Trump's family moved into a 23-room, 9-bathroom mansion, also built by Fred Trump, at 85-14 Midland Parkway on the other side of the same block, on two adjoining lots directly behind the backyard of the house on Wareham Place. Trump's parents lived in the mansion for the rest of their lives. Trump lived there until he was sent to boarding school at age 13, while attending Fordham University from 1964 to 1966, and, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, from 1968 to 1971.

85-14 Midland Parkway in Jamaica Estates, Queens

I grew up in a small Kansas town. We lived on the main route from the oil refinery down the street and for most of my youth there was a small grocery store across the street and the older lady owner lived in an apt in the back...It was such a cool place...it had a big curved glass covered front counter with all kinds of candy treats that we occasionally got to pick from...it also had canned goods and other stuff...it was on a corner.

Corner Store is sort of an obsolete term at this point.

They have disappeared from the Minneapolis St. Paul Metro Area. The gas station convenience stores have replaced them. At our old hose in St. Paul, there were three former corner stores within three blocks of our house. All had been turned into rentals. The closest one had the original apartment upstairs, along with the lower level store space. The lower level had been converted into an apartment.

Similar things are scattered all over the city. But We don't have bodegas here. Nobody walks anywhere. they drive over a couple of blocks, get on an arterial street and go either direction. There's a convenience store within 1/4 mile.

NYC still has walking neighborhoods everywhere. Nobody drives inside the city. So, the bodegas and corner stores are still in business. In 2020, the estimate was that there were 13,000 bodegas in the boroughs of NYC. That's a lot.

Methinks the marmalade shartcannon misheard Corner store as quarter store as a kid as it got branded in his peabrain.

The president can wax rhapsodic about his marble preferences and his affection for Corinthian columns. “Corner store,” however, left him badly confused.

Baffled by his own ‘corner store’ reference, Trump’s problems with groceries persist - MS NOW apple.news/AA6gvd1eLRIe...

is at the corner of the building at the intersection. Corner barber shop; corner shoe store, etc.

This entire discussion about how a 79-year old might not know the term "corner store" is just further evidence of that Trump's own lived experience is very far removed from that of most Americans. He doesn't drive a car; has likely never pumped gas; has never shopped for groceries; has never prepared food for himself or others; has never done a load of laundry; has never washed dishes; has rarely set foot in a NYC bodega - if ever.
