Comment on If Donald Trump was black, would he have made it this far in politics?
ValiantDust@feddit.org 1 day agoI’m not from the US and while, thanks to the internet, I probably know more about Trump’s scandals and crimes than is necessary or reasonable for anyone only indirectly affected by his actions, I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface. Especially since, as you said, you really have to put in an effort to keep track of all of them.
So I’m just observing from afar and constantly amazed by every new detail I stumble upon.

I’m a life long New Yorker who has seen all of his scandals in the local media [he’s been trying to get his name in the papers since the 1980s] Back in the 1990s there was a local satire magazine called Spy. They ridiculed the pompous and Trump was a favorite target. They once wnated to find the cheapest person in the City.
They sent a few dozen rich folks checks for less than $2.00. Personal checks to home addresses. Most threw the checks away, but a few cashed them. The magazine kept sending checks in smaller and smaller amounts.
In the end, only Trump and an arms dealer cashed the last check. 13 cents. $0.13. Not enough to make a phone call.
I’ve literally never heard one good story about him.

As a life long NYC resident I’ve seen my share of great buildings. I went to Trump Tower once, long before 2015. The walls of the lobby were all gold and there was a waterfall. I thought it looked like a giant, golden toilet.
