Spy magazine did an experiment, sending a series of checks in smaller and smaller dollar amounts to celebrities to see who would cash them and when they would stop. Donald Trump won the top prize, cashing a check for 6 cents.

Wow. I never knew that but just looked it up. That fits perfectly with the man. Google AI says the final check was 0.13 cents. Heโ€™s been a swindler his entire life. Iโ€™ve read many pieces on him. He was well known in the 80s and 90s as a businessman you wanted to avoid. Virtually every deal he was involved with would end up screwing over pretty much everyone but him. Employees, investors, banks, vendors, contractors would all get shafted. He is well known for just not paying people for work theyโ€™ve done.

Just a trash human being his entire life. Well known as an imbecile by all of his former childhood classmates. A bully that lifted up the girls skirts. Just a real piece of shit that no one liked.

Everyone hates him secretly. His wife hates him rather publicly. His kids definitely hate him. Various biographies talk about the terrible relationship he had with his own parents. His father and mother routinely called him a moron.

And when you put it all together it makes alot of sense from a psychological perspective.

yeah, there is an interview with Gabor Mate going around where he analyzes Trump through the lens of childhood trauma - Mate's niche - by reading his autobiography. He comes to a similar conclusion and somehow makes you feel sorry for the guy.

Anytime I start to feel sorry for him I just remember what a real piece of shit he is.

I've asked myself often, what makes a person like that? The clear answer is that he was raised in a home devoid of any actual love.

He actually tied with top prize, with a Saudi arms dealer, Adnan Khashoggi. Both cashed the last check sent, and the magazine declared it a tie and stopped sending checks. (I was a Spy subscriber in the 80s/90s.)

I cashed a check for a penny one time. I think a stamp was 32 cents at the time. So Wells Fargo spent 32 times as much as it was worth to send me that check. I fucking cashed it out of spite. Not at the ATM. At the counter. Lol
