He’s been a full-blown asshole for decades. Probably his whole life.
Also, his taste in everything is just so…chintzy. I mean it’s literally the gaudiest shit.
I remember people adoring him in the 80s, and even in Peak 80s money-grabbing yuppie hype with everyone thinking the surface glitz of Miami Vice and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (and Less Than Zero, and Secret of My Success, and and and) was what you were supposed to aspire to…anything associated with Trump that I saw looked like total dogshit.
His obsession with gold makes me think of the 80s, where gold gilded things was a mark of wealth. It makes me wonder if Trump’s head is still in that world where everything needs to be gold so that he can look good.
Because Trump is all about how it looks on the outside. Hell it wouldn’t surprise me if he couldn’t tell the difference between gold and brass.
Even by the metric of Peak 80s gaudiness, Taco stood out as someone exceptionally tacky.
But at the time, I remember some of my peers and many adults worshiping the guy because of Worthington’s Law. People tripping over themselves to get down to his “Taj Mahal” and getting pictures of themselves at the entrance, etc…
I just thought the guy looked like a Daddy’s boy with an exceptionally loud mouth, seeking lots of attention and self-promotion and truly awful taste.
Jfc here I thought Trump had grown into being a dick. Turns out he was always a dick.
