My despising him started when I saw how he screwed small businesses building the casino in Atlantic City.....Hillary was right, he is Deplorable.

I remember that. And everyone was mad because he did not pay so many contractors and employees back then. It’s shameful and I just don’t understand why anyone can not look back and remember: when he showed us who he was, we better not forget, because more us to come. And it sure has!

Trump's plan:

Become dictator.

Project 2025.

Enact martial law.

Enact the insurrection act.

Suspend the Constitution.

Full immunity .

Turn our backs on our allies & align us with other world dictators.

Return power to the white man where women & those of color have no say.

Let's not let that happen! This November, it’s crystal clear: Bye-Don and good riddance!

Orange Hitler will build death camps and carry out mass "revenge" executions.

And invoke Christianity as the absolute law of the land !

And all other religions are second class and must succumb to Christian Rule.

It’s highly unlikely, especially as his trials continue and he continues to go downhill mentally. That he has support, any support, outside of single digits says two things: 1) some people in this country are astoundingly gullible and stupid, 2) our media is NOT portraying the truth about the state of our economy, nor the reality of the mentation of the two leading candidates.

Yep, Project 2025, etc. And part of that is potentially sending all naturalized citizens back to their home countries. I am a naturalized citizen who has lived here since I was brought here at the age of 3 days old, by parents who had already emigrated here several years prior. So, Canada, here I, at age 71, come (back)?

I remember when that story broke right before the election.

I don't know how people think he is so great. He is vile and not very smart.

I don't think he would know a legitimate financial statement if it is staring him in the face.

I don't know what he has on these Republicans who are kissing away their law licenses.

Expand full comment

They want the power he's going to give them, to rule over us like "Christians" (never mind that no actual Christian is like that). His supporters are so afraid of change, and trans people, and gay lifestyles, and tattoos and short skirts, and people making their own decisions. It's sickening

Expand full comment

Eva it's because they've been brainwashed for over 25 years by Rush, Hannity and Fox News that their brand of "Christianity" is the right one. I include my own Mother in that and it breaks my damn heart.

After January 6th and all of the hearings she swore she'd never vote for him again. She even stopped watching Fox. Well guess what? She's back on the Trump train again. I told her to find someone else to take her to Vote because I wouldn't keep my mouth shut this year. No way. Not this year. There's just too much at stake.

My own mother too... sucked in by "Rush" and the rest. Except she never swore she wouldn't vote for Trump. She believes he tried to call the National Guard on January 6th! That's when I realized, for the first time, how deeply fooled my folks are.

Good for you! It’s very hard to say no to one’s parents. Standing up and saying you won’t be an accessory to her voting for a con man is a good way to stop at least one brain-washed human from voting for the wrong party.

I used to associate with people who sang the praises of Rush - church folk. I'm glad I never listened to him, and got away from that atmosphere. The church was a very good one for me at the time, and I've since gained some good perspective.

He has shown us so many times who he is, it's ridiculous! Screws every contractor he works with, 6 or 8 bankrupt companies? People go to jail for doing his bidding.....

He's a smug, worthless, pompous narcissist....

And let's all remember, "He loves the uneducated"

The uneducated I can understand. What I don’t understand is the highly educated followers like Drs, lawyers, professors, etc. They should know better.

He owned 555 businesses and oyes, in 30 years 7 of them failed. You people are so sad to fall for all this hatred. The media since 2012 were no longer, or "thought" they were allowed, to propagate, embellish lies to push the Socialists, Communist propaganda..which is what you've evidently have been under since..Sad.

Me too. I remember the stories about how he ruined people’s lives during this time. I worked in Manhattan but lived in NJ at the time. So many people believed in him only to have him not pay them & they went bankrupt. So sad.

My dislike took full root with the full-page ad in the NYT, calling for the death penalty for 5 INNOCENT teenagers of Color.

His contractors were asked why they did business with him when he would refuse to pay them then pay them half in settlement of their dispute.

One contractor replied, “Well, we overbid the contract by twice the rate….”

I would really appreciate your bicentennial Trump story, John! I wish we generally heard more from the MANY individual people who’ve been brutalized by him over the years. I’ve never been around him myself, but I recall when I first started hearing about him: in the late 1980s, when a Vanity Fair subscription was my big splurge. I’d just started recognizing the name as belonging to a vulgar creep who desperately wanted—and failed—to be viewed as a social equal with movie stars and other celebrities, when his “Central Park 5” full-page ad appeared in all the NYC newspapers, with the giant headline, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY” (all caps, in a bit of foreshadowing!). At the time, I was aghast to think that a single person would, and COULD, do that. The idea that this guy could become POTUS would’ve caused my eyes to roll out of my head back then—and here we are, 35 years later, with them exonerated, and him an ex-POTUS…and he’s never apologized.

And of course, there are all the workers he’s stiffed over the years, like the undocumented Polish laborers who built Trump Tower (although they eventually did get paid, after winning a lawsuit against him: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna397821); the piano store owner who provided several pianos for one of his casino, and was stiffed (https://wapo.st/4aStFnd); and loads more (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna589261)! I see now that the dates on all these stories are 2016–they need to be revived for this campaign season, and MAGA needs to have its collective nose rubbed in these facts. The Trump black magic has worked so beautifully on all kinds of low-income people that they actually believe he gives a flying f. about them— they need to be forced to hear these stories of their idol’s true nature.

Expand full comment

I so agree. The stories of these individuals he stiffed and their business dealings with him need to be revived.

Don’t leave out the greedy American Oligarchs who donate big money all to ensure less or no corporate regulation and another big tax cut. The only good thing about them is each has only one vote in the election (we hope).

Recall the massive grift at his inauguration. Melania and her sidekick received over $25,000,000. Boeing kicked in a cool $1,000,000 for the event.

All in all little accounting took place. One heck of a beginning for a serial grifter.

Expand full comment

I agree with your post Maria, my big splurge was People magazine. He and Ivana had a few glitzy articles printed (funded by Fred, I’m sure). I couldn’t be less inclined to find out more about a “celebrity loser” than Trump. Just ewe even looking at the two of them. Then all I saw were buildings, casinos and bankruptcies. Football failures, ties, vodka, steaks…now we’re down to what? a trashy wife, the adult porn actress whom he had a moment with has more integrity than Melania, and ugly sneakers.

But the image that caused Americans to lose their ever loving minds over is only a that of grifter, phony, fragile (they all are) puppet of oligarchs and Russian interests.

So after all this, there’s a FU (CK is covered over), Biden flag down the street from my rural home. Not surprised or disappointed just plan on mailing them a post card every day with one of Trump’s crimes handwritten in Sharpie (nice touch) every day until Election Day. Just the vulgar Biden yard signs, flags,ect. Trump all you want, but leave Biden out of the hate cycle.

Maria:

A problem with posting all of his mistreatment of others is it would only encourage his followers. Why else would he continue to have people(?) attend his rallies? Realizing some attendees go to see his meltdown, spit flying, vein popping, hair flopping, gibberish ranting, button flying, self.

Ha! Something to that…his idolaters include all the sad sacks out there who are angry at the world for their situations in life, and want a sort of generalized revenge on anyone who’s kinder, happier, more empathetic, better educated, literate, opposed to littering, opposed to corporate pollution, and doesn’t shoot their rambunctious, untrained adolescent dog in the head. MAKE THE NICE PEOPLE PAY!

When the Polish workers demolished Best& Co, it was a contractual agreement made to preserve all the Art- Deco wall & Building pieces, for the Guggiheim Museum,

He destroyed Every single object.

You do understand that he built his Tower in the shooping district, across from Hallmark, because Fifth Ave. & Sutton Place deemed him persona non- grata; to coarse , off the rack baggy suits, no proper manners or etiquette ( never learned, couldn't eat at a fully dressed table), just damned uncouth.

The orange puke knows he' s Inferior in the USA & European Circles.

Sending goons is something a mob boss does. That’s how he sees himself. He is even referred to as “The Teflon Don,” which is the moniker used to describe John Gotti. Gotti died a broken man in prison. I hope Donald Trump faces the same fate. We do not need another four years of that moron as president. America deserves better than a cowardly, stupid, narcissistic wannabe mob boss as president.

"Teflon Don "was also used to describe NICKY BARNES, one of the biggest Heroin/Crack movers in Harlem during the same time.

I inherited a gift from my mother. I used to think her gift was BS until I found out she was on point a majority of the time. That gift is being able to read someone like a book as soon as they start talking. And also my gut instinct has never been wrong.

The first time I heard tfg speak in an interview many years ago, before The Apprentice, I saw that he was a con man. My mom even asked me during a commercial break what I felt after hearing his interview and I told her that he was full of shit. She just nodded her head and smirked.

When he announced that he was running for president (I believe that it was in 2014 when he announced it) in the 2016 election, I went into a panic. I was telling everyone that we couldn't let him get into the White House or we were all going to be screwed. My concerns mostly fell on deaf ears. People would say shit like "America is a business and we need a businessman to run it" even though his bankruptcies were public information and how many people he ripped off that worked for him.

When he and Hillary debated, not only did she know that she was right but, so did I. He can't get back in the White House again! He's also is clearly suffering from some form of cognitive decline be it Alzhiemer's or Dementia. I had two relatives that had different forms of Dementia. There are a few. And he demonstrates some of the same symptoms that my relatives did. That's dangerous when combined with malignant narcissism.

Mangorangutan! 🤣🤣🤣

That's a new one on me and I am going to use that.

I have always wanted to go to New York to see a Broadway show and go on a pizza hop, but I am not as enthusiastic as I used to be about going. Maybe it's because i'm older or maybe it's because he has left his stench everywhere in that city. If I ran into him, I would probably go to jail or get shot by his Secret Service detail.

I never wish harm on anyone either or, at least I try not to. I believe that whatever you put out comes back tenfold. He's just worn my last nerve to the nub.

I so agree. I hated him in mid 80s when woman came out said he sexually assaulted her. Then he flew to Russia. I remember his touchy on pageant shows it made me sick. He’s always thought he was liked by all. Truth people disliked him. He’s gross human that would look at his daughter like she was meat!! My long is he dies a a hurtful death soon than later.

I've hated him since I first saw him on TV in 1988. Something about him just really turned my stomach. I avoided any shows about him. I've never been able to tolerate looking at him or hearing his voice. It's like a part of me knew immediately what he was.

When he decided to run for president, I was HORRIFIED. When he won, I was sure we were all (parents my French) fukt.

All I really knew about him was his old lifestyles of the rich and famous (didn't care), then The Apprentice which annoyed me after two episodes. I didn't like him the and I sure didn't like it when I descended on that stupid escalator, talking shit about Mexico.

Ha! He was my neighbor for 20 years. I lived in the town next to his Bedminster golf course & he would show up in my town now & then to try to get people to join. We would all laugh at him - we thought he was a harmless crank. Not so harmless now.

Expand full comment

I knew he was a conman, jerk & snake oil salesman the very first time I was exposed to him in the media in the 1980s. Everything he has said & done since then has only confirmed my first impression of him, except his behavior keeps getting worse & worse & has gone to full-blown treason. How so many Americans are so blind or indifferent to this is an enigma I'll never quite comprehend.

I recall when he implied that his Miss Universe was fat in 1990-something…. I found it odd his bankruptcies made Canada’s news & never watched an episode of his unreality tv show but when he came down the fake gold escalator in June 2015…. I was instantly intrigued & terrified for the country I once called home when Clinton was being/wasn’t impeached. I came back to Canada in 2000, & I still tear up singing America’s national anthem at NHL games. I have female relatives of reproductive age in states where Trump’s deal with the evangelical devil ended with his porn star pay-off & the overturning of Roe versus Wade. As your 🇨🇦neighbour, all I can say is what I’ve told my 🇺🇸relatives: in November you need to vote & more importantly, you need to encourage everyone you know to vote too. Aside from my years living in 🇺🇸, (despite what Trump says foreigners legally living in 🇺🇸cannot vote), I’ve never not voted in any election. I have memories of going to vote as a small child & I grew up anticipating marking a ballot. Also drilled into me by my parents was “the right to complain” - if chose to not vote, we were not allowed to complain about the elected representatives. Because of Trump, I’m advising my female kin to vote in November state & federally like their bodily autonomy depends on it (and bring friends).
