It was never funny with Donny, it was always hateful since he came down his gold plated escalator.

He was a piece of shit from the beginning—well before any presidential aspirations.

Did people always know this? I dont think he was talked about much before his presidential campaign.

At best he was a gameshow host with a failed casino, failed steak venture, shitty boardgame, and was known (at least here in Atlantic City) as completely fucking radioactive. You DO NOT do business with him if you wanna be paid.

That's what I knew of him well before all this shit.

I didn't know much about Trump's entire existence because I was not wealthy nor in New York.

No, my first awareness of him was having Trump Tower pointed out to me in Toronto, and that was it. I have no other memory of him being discussed
