Since the day after Thanksgiving is usually a quiet day with not much to do, it seemed like a good day to share this film. It was made in 1991. But it was never released because Donald Trump threatened to sue anyone who showed it. It is titled: “Trump: What’s the Deal?“

The day after thanksgiving always starts all the traditional holiday things. We are taking in one today, going to the Tennessee aquarium and seeing Polar Express.
Donnie will have to wait.

Trump was always known as big talking NYC party guy. He was frequently photographed in the company of Epstein. It is ironic that he was describing his own tendency to over leverage his investments in the video clip. Trump has always been a big promoter, a smash and grab entrepreneur, and a litigious nightmare when things didn’t go his way. There were always stories in the NYC press about Trump stiffing contractors and vendors on his projects. He couldn’t even make money from a casino in Atlantic City. It is incredible that he is still able to peddle his corrupt brand to naive investors.

“It is incredible that he is still able to peddle his corrupt brand to naive investors.”
It is also incredibly ironic that we hold investors in such high esteem in the country after they have been hoodwinked by his like for so many years.

Well, Trump’s world started out in the 1970s mostly limited to NYC, which means those who knew Trump best lived in NYC at the time. My PTSD counselor was born and grew up in New York City and despises and distrusts Trump because of what she learned about him through the media and the NYC grape vine during those years while she still lived there.
Then the convicted rapist, fraud, and felon expanded his crimes and con games to the world, but mostly in the real estate industry.
The world didn’t know who Trump was when he exploded globally in 2016, during the presidential debates with Hillary, while she debated and Toxic T Gish Galloped all over her, while stalking the stage acting like a sexually depraved cocaine addict, who just snorted a snoot full.
The world didn’t know what the Gish Gallop was and many still don’t. And Trump’s loyalist fascist MAGA hate cult doesn’t care.

The brother in law of one of colleagues is a contractor who was stiffed for $300K+ by Trump. Took away the college funds he’d put aside for his kids.
He’s pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is serving a 45-year US sentence for drug-trafficking. And blowing up “drug trafficking” boats at the same time.
This is about as far as you can get from a presidential role model.
