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.

What's your point Marianne?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Didn’t Trump demand the execution of 5 innocent Black and Brown boys in the 80s, calling them “animals?” Wasn’t Trump convicted of massive housing descrimination in the 70s? Yeah, “reasonableness” to you.

So, the immoral behavior had not surfaced in the 80's but little did we know...... I don't consider Donald being reasonable when you are comparing it to an insane Donald today.

Central Park Five. And he still won’t acknowledge that they were exonerated.

Oh good lord. He was just better at scamming.

He’s become more himself

I’ve always found him to be far too materialistic to be a decent human being. His attempt at being president merely magnified that for me.
Replying to @marwilliamson
His colors starte showing at least by the 90's. I remember him being petty and vindictive.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I remember when he was a Studio 54 regular and promoted boxing and bragged about his playboy life. He was a sort of a rich sleaze.
