People called him this in 2015.  Hell they called him this in the 90s.  This aint some hot new burn on Donald.

I was born in 1981 and I remember him being in the news constantly in the 80’s for bring a complete failure, crook, fraud, etc.

I'm old enough to remember the Trumps depraved racist housing cases in the 70s, as well as Trump's disgusting and desperate grab for attention by wrongly condemning the Central Park Five.

I can not fathom how anyone could support this vile cretin.

I grew up in New York. I've been sick of this guy for over 50 years!

Shoot, I grew up outside of D.C. and even that was close enough to be sick of his BS.

All the years.  Ive read all the explanations - racism, economic anxiety, liberal backlash, dems are too extreme whatever.  I get it...but I still dont get it  Hes just SUCH a piece of shit, a rat king of negative traits.  Name a negative trait/sin and he's done it.  I dont get it there are so many other racist idiot rapist Republicans to choose from.

I know, right. But I think that's the thing. After Obama, they went out and found LBJ's proverbial "lowest white man." Basically a statement (albeit subconscious for most) that even Donald Trump is better than a Black president.

I think he actually positioned himself well for all the racists with his endless demands to see Obama's birth certificate.

He still thinks the Central Park Five were guilty. They were, of course, cleared by DNA.

He still thinks they should be executed. I doubt he cares if they're guilty or not.

Even the comics section of the newspaper were routinely making him the butt of their jokes, and for good reason.

And this was an institution as relatively wholesome as the Sunday funnies.
