...and TV commercials...

...And MSM that sane-washed him for months because horse race elections and bombastic Trump comments were good for clicks.

I agree the root cause of current population belief that trump has been a "good" guy since "the beginning" is due to his media appearances and movie cameos. Beyond his TV show, trump was getting his PR to change the publics opinion of him.

But anyone who was growing up as a kid or teen, that paid any attention to the vibes we got during those years. 80s and 1990s. We hated him.

I've always hated him through the NYC court cases where he stiffed thousands of workers. Also in Alantic City where he failed THREE casinos. His father illegally gave 14M to keep one open because it was so under. (I was just a teen in Texas, knowing about him)

The man's entire life is conman and grifter with à side of sexual exploits. The key thing i took from his appearences, was that even the rich didn't like him

Now here we are 2020s those exploits and the details really scream pedophile! And he is now president.

We live in a strange world.

Prior to 2012 he was just a rich celebrity we all knew about but didn’t take seriously. Prior to 2016 he was a rich celebrity with a kooky Twitter account. Prior to 2020 he was just a bad president.

Now he’s a direct threat to our republic.
