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.

Odd, he's a good guy, weird you don't see it.

Unusually bad take. Trump was awful in the ‘80s but his awfulness didn’t disenfranchise, degrade, and dehumanize millions of people. Kushner didn’t create a monster, Fred Trump did. Then we gave that monster a platform. And this is the result.

Poor mental health isn’t always visible. Nor the descent into treacherous acts against humanity.

I think you weren’t paying attention or disregarded him if he didn’t have direct bearing on your life because you weren’t a black man in NYC

He was always horrible. He has a history of severe mental health issues dating back to his own childhood. This is well documented. Trump, as a child attempted to push a classmate out of a second story window. He lied even when confronted with the truth.

There is a saying ... "We are either getting better or we are getting worse" ... Trump kept getting worse ... and now I would say he's on the verge of being mentally ill.

He was cringe before cringe was a thing. A white Don King. A joke and the epitome of capitalist excess. Like always.

Sorry I have to disagree with you. He was alway belligerent. Example: msnbc.com/all-in/watch/trump…
