The first time I heard of Donald Trump was back in the ’80s when I had a co-worker who was really big into wrestling. One day he came into work all excited about the news that Westlemania was going to be held at Trump Plaza that year, and that “The Donald” was going to be in attendance.
It meant nothing to me, but I could tell that this was evidently a Great Honor, although whether it was an honor for the WWF or for The Donald, I was unsure.
But this might be why I have always mentally confused Donald Trump with Ted DiBiasse the Million Dollar Man.
My wife and I love to play board games. Bought this one in 2006 I think after watching The Apprentice. Played it once, still sitting in pristine condition in my closet, completely ignored; just wish I could say the same for the man himself.
As an Italian, the first time I knew about Donald Trump was because of these arc on Doonesbury (and Bloom County). It was published in a magazine with some articles written by Enzo Baldoni (a great journalist who was also the Doonesdury translator) explaining who the man was and because they described him as a sort of idiot full off himself.
Maybe you know him from Trump University, remember? That Ponzi Scheme that ripped millions of dollars out of thousands of people among which I’m pretty sure there were a lot of veterans.
In 1996, Ross Perot ran for president on the Reform Party ticket. It became the 3rd largest party in America. Perot didn’t run again in 2000, so the party’s nomination was up for grabs. Leading contenders for its ticket-topper were physicist John Hagelin, commentator Pat Buchanan, and embodiment of consistently principled political philosophy and not at all an opportunist Donald J. Trump.
Herr Trump was also for quite a few years a pro-choice registered Democrat. Perhaps he also signed up as a Libertarian from time to time, if he could see any advantage in it. It took the Republican Party to eventually fall for his “charms”.
Trump the unfortunate dementia victim, who STILL claims he won the last election.
Think about it. He wants to run in another ELECTION against opponents so brilliantly sinister they can rig an election so cleverly that NO ONE can find any evidence of it. Yet, he still thinks he can overthrow the government by electoral means. This guy will be in the textbook for crazy for decades to come.
