Trump struck me as a conman & a jerk first time I was exposed to him back in the 1980s. It's so obvious to me from the beginning, I have been puzzled as to how so many people can't see it.

Me too, Jaime! I never saw him till I watched an “Apprentice” episode to see what the fuss was about. Came away wondering what the fuss was about. 🙂

I never watched that show. I think the only show I ever watched featuring Trump was a documentary about him & his golf course in Scotland built in a location where it was unwanted by the residents & which caused environmental harm. He was very hostile to the locals but he bribed his way through some corrupt officials. A total jerk who was very dishonest, confirming an impression I already had of him.

I read about the Scotland course after the fact; sounded just like what he'd do. Most of his courses get high marks for quality, but none of them seem to be profitable, which makes me feel good all over.

If only he could have been stopped back then and disappeared.

Well, I have thought that psychopaths & sociopaths like Trump should be identified & caught early enough to prevent them from rising to the upper levels in any corporate, government, military, religious or entertainment field. I believe there exists that capacity based on what is known in the psychological fields.
