          Back during the Great Depression (maybe we should start calling it the “first Great Depression,” unfortunately), the shantytowns that homeless people started putting together near sources of aid were dubbed “Hoovervilles,” after US president Herbert Hoover, whose policies and lackluster response to crises were largely seen as the reason for the Depression.

          I betcha the next Hoovervilles will be called Trump Towers.
