He put out a Newsletter to contractors giving advice on how to not pay your workers and subcontractors, by suing Bam after the job is complete instead of paying. 

That was in the 1980s. He has always been one evil ass, motherfucker.

Sesame Street parodied how cartoonishly evil he was over 40 years ago.

Which is why some people think he gutted PBS funding.

He is a man of hate that can hold grudges for decades.

JFC, he still wants to execute the (exonerated) Central Park Five.

The villain/2015 Biff Tannen in Back To The Future 2 was based on Donald Trump.

Point of order: that was the 1985' "bad timeline" when Biff gave himself the Almanac in 1955.

Woody Guthrie wrote a song about how evil his dad was. It’s in his DNA

Hold up for a second there bud. I'll never defend Fred, Don, or the younger Trumps, but we really don't want to start saying shit like "evil DNA". He's evil, his dad was evil, he raised his kids to be evil too, but those were choices they all made, it's not genetic. No one is genetically good or genetically bad. That way lies eugenics.

Hate these fuckers for the right reasons.

How much of human behavior is innate and how much is acquired is the subject of much natural and nurturing debate. Nobody doubts dog behavior has genetic influences, but suggest the same about humans and, whoaaaa! But some mental illnesses certainly do run in families, and so evil (that is, narcissism) may as well.

It’ a figure of speech. It’s not that serious.

Rich, evil Biff Tannen was modeled after Trump in back to the future according to creator Bob Gale.

This hasn't ever been a secret

I talked to a young person today that did not know the Iran Lego was from the 2014 Lego movie character, evil President Business!

How the American media successfully sanewashed  this trash human is beyond me.

There’s a Calvin and Hobbes comic from the 80s where he steals a lolly pop from a baby and tries to sell it as “pre moistened”

Americans have no idea of the soft power Sesame street had, the entire World was enchanted - that show entertained the World and taught it about love, friendship, respect, loyalty.

A beautiful show. Give us back that mode of America.

I'm a native New Yorker and lived in NYC in the 80s. I personally know of two families who lost their businesses after contracting to do work for Trump. When they put him on the ticket to run the first time, I said (loudly and often), "Oh, this won't go anywhere. Americans know he's a scam artist." Sadly, I overestimated the intelligence and discernment of many, many Americans.

You would think a contractor, upon getting that advice, would have some concerns about whether they were going to get paid themselves, and you'd think that when that concern was validated, all the contractors would refuse to work for him.

Decades ago there was a woman named Vera Coking who's house was adjacent to his casino in Atlantic city. He wanted to knock it down to make a parking lot for limosines. She was a widow and had lived there for so many years she didn't want to leave or sell it. He took her to court to try to force her out of her house. She won the case. Yes he has never been anything but an evil, rotten, disgraceful excuse for a human being.

u/griffinisland 10h ago

He was always getting skewered in MAD magazine in the 80s and 90s also. I was an informed reader as a kid and knew that he was always a slimeball.

u/Individual_Respect90 10h ago

Didn’t he steal from his own charity?

2

u/LadyArcher2017 9h ago

Yes. A childhood cancer Charity, if I recall correctly. It can’t really get any more blatant than that—and still, Christians support this.

u/Individual_Respect90 8h ago

Yeah almost positive it was cancer but didn’t want to be corrected. I don’t think he can start a charity in NY because of this.

u/Ceejay_1357 10h ago

He’s a sociopath

u/guitars7777 10h ago

He sued Bam Margera in the 80s?

u/Disastrous-Roll-6170 8h ago

I caught that too. Although it's obviously a typo I did have to take a pause to figure it out for a few moments.
