The Biggest Loser: Why Donald Trump Couldnt Hack It in Hollywood
Donald Trump spent years trying to make it as a Hollywood mogul. Nobody bought his act
By Allen Salkin -August 26, 2019
As a young man, Trump had been interested in attending film school at USC. Ive always thought that Louis B. Mayer led the ultimate life, that Flo Ziegfeld led the ultimate life, that men like Darryl Zanuck and Harry Cohn did some creative and beautiful things, he told Playboy in 1990. The ultimate job for me would have been running MGM in the 30s and 40spretelevision.
Maybe thats the tragedy of Trump. Though he reportedly learned his straight-to-camera scowl by studying Clint Eastwoods Dirty Harry, and his appetites and parental bankroll were well suited for louche movie moguldom in the pre-#MeToo era, Trump ultimately decided to take a safer path. He gave up on USC to major in business at the University of Pennsylvania before going to work for his father, Fred, at the familys real estate company. When President Trump unleashed a stream of puerile insults west, telling reporters Hollywood is racist
really terrible, it can be heard as the tirade of a frustrated inner child, stomping on the sandcastle built by a clique of cooler kids who spurned him. But, until recently, Trumps interest in the entertainment business was undiminished.

I cant imagine why.
I will be so thankful once he is gone. The constant barrage of DT seeing a comment/image or hearing him day in and day out for the last 3 yrs has taking its toll.
