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.

Are you stoned? Have you seen his interviews from the 80’s? He was an asshole then & he’s an asshole now... #CentralParkFive #Bankruptcy #Infidelity #JefferyEpstein #LoanDefaults The list is endless, right???

Trump is not an ideologue. He’s an opportunist. The easiest thing to be in our culture (and where money is aligned) is a Republican. Trump is lazy in ways, and easy money is his preferred path. He has fleeced Republicans. Trump is a Sylvester McMonkey McBean. One of many.

He still isn't horrifying. The Democrats created the Trump Bogeyman. Notice now that the election is over there is no more Racist, Racist, Racist. It didn't work anyway - Trump still got a slice of the Black vote. Shame on Democrats!

@CNBC has been doing a multi-part documentary about the big players of the ‘80s including Trump, Leona Helmsley, Gotti, Giuliani and Boesky and featuring a lot of old interviews w/them. Enlightening for anyone that didn’t live through the ‘80s! cnbc.com/empires-of-new-york…

I do not agree at all. He’s the same person. Look at the interviews and the business deals.

Yeah 40 years ago he wasn’t the worst human being on earth — he was just in the top 100.
