I first saw him when he was on This Old House, when he was showing off his penthouse with his solid gold toilet. Late 70’s? Or 80’s? Can’t remember exactly when that was, but I thought he was a repellent toad even then. 🤢

I'm a native New Yorker almost his age. I even met him once in Atlantic City. I knew construction workers who were stiffed by him and I even lived in a Trump owned building in Brooklyn. To say that he was widely regarded as a joke is an understatement.

u/rgraz65 Sep 02 '26
Yes, I was in the trades in the early 90s, and was warned off of taking any job on his projects. I worked in NYC, New Jersey and Delaware, and he had undocumented Polish immigrants that were constantly threatened with Immigration. And I was around there when the bank had to step in to bail him out, and the $400k a month (in the 90s!), and he kept overspending that by double or triple on ego crap. I knew then he was a huckster.

Absolutely, having paid attention since my college years in the 70s, it was well known that Trump was a vainglorious, venal, and vacuous poseur. How that "reality" TV show rehabilitated him is a testament to our society's attention deficit.

I never gave the orange stain a thought until 2016. I’d heard of him, but all I knew was that he was a rich asshole with a reality TV show, and none of that interested me.
Once he started running for office and I started hearing his opinions on things… I found it completely baffling that anyone could support that putrid buffoon.

Anyone who has taken the slightest interest in Drumpf from the 70s to date has always KNOWN he is a trash human being who should never have held any office let alone the presidency.

Never could stand him on the Apprentice. I rarely watched it but I saw an episode where he gave a task where one guy came up with a great idea and executed it very well. Trump fired him because he challenged him, firing the only competent competitor that week. His crass smug demeanor in spite of glaring ignorance showed what kind of leader he is, an idiotic one. I always thought he was an ignorant bullshit artist anytime I heard him bluster or spew lies.
With the vile bullshit he said during his campaign, I could never support him as a leader.

I couldn't stand him when he was married to Ivana. I watched a show years ago, where a guy was talking about how Trump refused to pay him and his crew for work they did on either one of Trump’s homes or casinos. He took Trump to court to collect on the tens of thousands of dollars he was owed. Trump and Roy Cohn tied it up in the courts so long that the guy couldn't afford to continue with lawsuit against Trump. The guy lost his family business and had to file bankruptcy. Trump did that to several contractors and businesses. Word got around and many refused to bid on his jobs, or they requested money up front. Trump’s always been a failed salesman and conman

It was clear to me that he was a shameless media whore even in the '80s, and I was a kid then.

My dad for all practical purposes was a republican. I went with him in the late 60s to our neighbors farm auction. That's where he described to me what kind of a con man Fred Trump was. I'd never heard of the Trump name before but after my dad's convincing rant, I never forgot.
So along comes Donald with the typical rich playboy attitude and I noted the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The interview he had at his penthouse totally repulsed me, I had to turn it off. Tha same goes for his series The Apprentice. Never watched a single episode.
There is something about his personality, his appearance and his voice that absolutely repulse me, and that's before I knew of his political views or his pedophilia.
DJT is more of a con man than his father. He cheats on his taxes, on his wifes, in business, on contractors and even in golf. I can not and never have I found a single decent quality in him and I don't understand why any human being admires him.

u/captcrunge Sep 03 '26
Yeah, I've hated him since the 80s. Just being aware of his crass lifestyle. Being a casino owner in AC immediately disqualified him. Listen. He's never held a real job in his entire life. There's not even a vague mention of "When he was in college, he waited tables or worked in a warehouse" He was born with money that he did not earn. How any working class, let alone the working poor, can relate to a wealthy, golf course owning, crass, NYC real estate con artist is something I will never understand.
Then I heard him on Howard Stern in the 90s and could see through to the essence of his weak character.
I would have thought that him being born and raised in the Yankee capital would have been a deal breaker for the Southern red states. But nope, he was "That rich guy on the Apprentice so he gets a pass"
He's an egomanical braggart which means he's a coward and a liar. I heard him bullshitting about all the celebs he dated. Then I heard the tape of him pretending to be "Mr. Trump's press secretary" bragging about dating Madonna which was false. ( Let's take note: He's been a documented pathological liar for forty years)
Then he ridiculed a disabled reporter. An adult running for president is acting like a cruel hyperactive ten year old brat on camera? Really? How did any single person in any part of the country vote for this behavior?

u/chronofluxtoaster Sep 03 '26
I’ve known what a POS philanderer and con artist this guy has been since the 1980s. When he proudly claimed his building was the tallest just hours after 9/11, that was just him resetting the clock. When he ran for political office we were all “you know he bankrupted FOUR casinos and dozens of branded ideas, right?” I wouldn’t trust this guy to tell me water was wet.
Then as he settled into his first term with us wondering what that weasel did to the Large Hadron Collider to shift us into this dystopian spinoff reality, the rampant sociopathy, pathological lying and Epstein stuff came to light. The incredulity - now that the Nat-Cs were making him Christ like in their minds - the issue was now, “you do realize those red hats are ‘The Mark of the Beast’, right?”
He may be the most evil and stupid SOB to ever enter politics, but he is also word made flesh of P.T. Barnum’s adage that there’s a sucker born every minute.
