He never went for the big bucks. Think of it this way; $10 million wouldn't buy an apartment in Trump Tower.

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.

In the comics the real Punisher knows he's insane and tells anyone who idolizes him that they should try to be like Captain America instead.

BTW, Trump pretty much gave away the farm to his co-author. Schwartz got full credit and half the profits, unheard of for a ghost writer. Schwartz also left Trump's circle after the book came out and has bad mouthed him ever since.

Beyond everything else, the fact that Donald Trump made so little money off the White House is staggering to me.

He could have gotten $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day if he'd had the balls to demand it.

He wouldn't have had to change any policies or make any new laws, just tell them that it was what it was.

You're just finding out about John Barron at this late date?

On the other hand, keeping track of all of Trump's lies and scandals is like trying to read Lord of the Rings while watching Avengers Endgame and listening to an audio book of Game of Thrones at the same time.

actual human, etc.

He was tried and found guilty of raping a woman.

She wasn't some sugarbaby coming on to him; she was going about her day and he decided that he could do what he wanted.

He also perved on teenage girls

This story is from when Trump was putting up Trump Tower. The biggest scandal that he used illegal immigrants to demolish the original building. He ended up havign to pay them over $1 million for the abuses.

The part of the story that made him anathema to the Manhattan elites was that he destroyed the building after promising to preserve it. It was considered one of the loveliest buildings in the city.

I was once in a class being taught by an MD. I mentioned that I liked chocolate covered espresso beans. He told us a story about a classmate who brought a five pound bag of them to study for finals. The classmate ended in the Emergency Room for a caffeine overdose.

I read about that trick years ago. It was in an essay by Ian Fleming. He wrote '...as hot as you can stand it for as long as you can stand it, followed by as cold as you can take it for as long as you can take it.'
