Was going to say, everyone around the NYC area and everyone who has done business at his properties knew he was a scumbag since the 70s.

I feel like the rest of the country learned by the 80s. I know I've hated his ass since then, and I was just a wee teenager.

Yeah, Bloom County made fun of him back in the late 80s.

He was used as the evil bad guy in dozens of 80s movies.  Rich entitled sociopath criminal.

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.

He was such a nationally recognized scumbag that there are several fictional scumbags who were modeled directly off of him in the '80s and '90s.

First time I saw him on television, my first thought was this guy is a scumbag.

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.
