    I pointed this out in his first term. He is the only president in my memory that didn’t walk into the office with a full team of their own advisors and staff members. He shows up with basically nobody but his employees and a bunch of random GOP back benchers because the dude has been in business for half a century without accumulating a single trusted business partner or even a couple of friends. Literally nobody likes this guy.

        I never understood why anyone was prepared to work with him. Back in the day he was always announcing some new business venture he has gotten somebody to back, and he always ended up stabbing them in the back. Oftentimes while simultaneously nose diving the business into the ground.

        You think after the third or fourth iteration of him doing that people would have learnt.

      That’s because being his friend is of no benefit. He’ll screw you over just as much as he would if you weren’t acquaintances, so what’s the point.

      Outside of business he lacks any kind of personality and views everything through the lens of business, so he’s not going to pick up genuine friendships either. It’s extremely telling that his only hobby appears to be golf, which of course is a classic networking game.

      Funny how when you have a reputation for fucking over every person you make a contract with, no one wants to be around you.

      I’d feel sad for him if he wasn’t such a repellent sack of shit.

      New York City was screaming.

      “Youse never heard of dis guy!”

      I was screaming. FFS, he was the laughing stock of America in the 80s and 90s. Jesus, we shit giggles when he came with: Trump: The Game.
