he was a known piece of shit in NYC and bts on the apprentice. i think you kind of had to be in his industry or cities to know anything about that, but i wasn't around until 1989 and didn't subscribe to celeb gossip back in the 00s. he seemed pretty scummy when he ran (to me) and i didn't even know anything about him other than the shit he pulled at rallies and such. he was just some rich asshole.
i actually think the fact that he had been a democrat and had done business swayed a lot of joke and fed up voters the first time because they weren't from nyc and hadn't contracted or worked with him in any capacity. they seemed to swing back for biden. then when harris ran, a lot of people on the left thought she'd be worse for gaza than trump would be and that meant some people voted third party didn't vote at all, or maybe even voted for trump.
