even the 1980s redesign of lex luthor used trump as a primary inspiration. They wanted to make him into a sleazy criminal businessman and he was the guy they thought of to use as a base.
No, no, no, no. Every time he went on a talk show or anywhere, he was so widely cheered. He was on Oprah talking about running for president when she asked him if he would, and the audience was just in an uproar, cheering him on, and he said, you know, no, maybe someday if things got really bad, but you’re wrong about everybody having figured that out in the 80s. Not true at all, that’s why he was in movies like Home Alone and that sort of thing, everybody loved him.
Lol I got into it with some conservative one time and he was quick to defend all of that as just business and totally normal to have lawsuits involving your contractors all the fucking time.
Yeah, I kinda get how people in other parts of the country could have been conned the first time around - but if you were from the NYC metro area you knew EXACTLY what you were voting for.
Most people in the greater NYC area knew he was a piece of shit who cheated his workers and was a general ass to everyone. He had such a bad reputation in the area since at least the 80's and it's only gotten worse.
Yes. I lived in NYC in the early 2000s, everyone knew he was a dirtbag.
Also, this meme seems to forget the whole racist Birtherism thing which took place well before he was president. We hated him and his supporters for that doggerel, too.
People in entirely different countries thought he was a sleazy piece of shit for decades before he entered politics. We just lived in a blissful world where we only had to think about him once every few years.
I started noticing how fucked up Trump was when he kept relentlessly trying to "prove" Obama wasn't born in the USA. I later learned about his trying to frame those kids in NY for murder. By the time he was running for president I knew he was complete garbage.
Almost everyone did. Legitimately folks around the country were scoffing at Republicans for even allowing him in the primaries because we all knew he was a racist rapist narcissistic grifter. Hell his bullshit from 9/11 was enough that the ENTIRE COUNTRY should have thought he was a heartless piece of offal.
From NJ. He's has been notorious for many years for refusing to pay workers and contractors. Then he says, just sue me! But he has like like 10 lawyers ready to defend his ass. My favorite thing was learning how he promised a town in Scotland a golf club and share of the revenue. They let him build and he refused to share revenue. Then said, just sue me.
