1/ I remember interviews of Trump in the 1980s & he wasn’t that bad. He wasn’t someone I would’ve voted for for president but he had a reasonableness about him. He wasn’t horrifying.

2/ He changed over the years. It was apparently Kushner who convinced him that playing the hate card would get him elected president. I tend to think if he had stayed who he was, he still might have won in 2016 & he’d probably be headed for a second term now.

3/ For so long – and I know, we still have 40 some odd days to worry about – he was such a malignant presence that all some of us could think about was how to get him out of the WH. Now that his presidency is waning, I think of him less as a danger and more as a human tragedy.

We need to get past this type of naivety - it serves no one.

It’s not naïve at all. I didn’t say he’s not a criminal and I have argued repeatedly for his prosecution when out of office.

He still isn't, you weirdo.

No, he was raised by racist elitist scumbags and he's always been a total and complete racist, elitist scumbag. Back then people had higher standards so he had to pretend to be better than he actually is.

He didn't change. You did.

I remember him on the Johnny Carson show. You’re right, he wasn’t as bad as today, but he had the same egotistical attitude. My grandma yelled at the TV when Trump or hootchie-kootchie Charo were on.

Yes he was, Narcissists are good at masking their true selves. Once he became president is when he took that mask off. Thats when all the masks of millions of racists & narcissists in America came off too. He helped exacerbate hate in America.

"He had a reasonableness about him," This is why ended up being President with Followers. His APPEARING reasonable and charming is what reels people in. Ted Bundy and Jim Jones had reasonableness about them too.
