1. And we've known he was a racist since at least the 70s.

We knew all this stuff and nearly half the country voted for him anyway. Twice.

3. being a racist and a grifter is a bonus for the christofascists.

10. The Nixon administration..

not known for having any passion for racial justice, so we can only imagine how egregious this case was.

2. With trump it never changes.

4. He'll never stop, Trump will be grifting from the grave.

[Baked Potato]

5. He put the Tan in Charlatan.

6. OMG I loved Mad magazine Alfred E. Neuman was my hero. nt

[Tommymac]

8. What, Me Worry?

I had the poster on my wall as a 5 year old.

Spy vs Spy was always my fav.

Good memories.

[live love laugh]

11. Yes I remember reading Mad on the train to and from school. I loved it.

[Tommymac]

12. Used to sit under the apple tree in the summer reading it.

Sounds pastoral but I was in East Orange, NJ, deep in the city.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I bet some idiots still really think he in partially human

with human feelings, actions, etc. The truth is that he is a scoiopath, was a sociopath and always will be a sociopth. This is WHO HE IS. He cannot change, even if he wanted to, just ask his niece.

9. I was a big fan of SPY magazine back then. . .

. . .and I still have the issues. . .

Editors Kurt Andersen and Graydon Carter loved ragging on him.

[Liberal In Texas]

14. And I liked Spy vs. Spy

[Kid Berwyn]

24. ...and Don Martin...

[Midnight Writer]

17. Yep. As far as I can remember, reading SPY magazine was the first time I heard of The Donald.

I think they slammed him in every issue.

"Short fingered vulgarian", they called him.

[LudwigPastorius]

19. I remember a Spy article in the early 90s which they...

sent checks in increasingly smaller amounts to several people to see who would cash them.

Trump was one of two people who endorsed and cashed a check for 13 cents.

13. That prick came after my job and my pension

Thankfully he ran up against a bigger prick...Bob Crandall...

Thanks Bob.

Bob kicked his ass in less than a week.

[lettucebe]

15. Yes they knew which makes it perplexing why they allowed him to strong-arm

himself into the nomination and then, somehow, the Presidency. I'm still in shock

[plimsoll]

18. Our (collective US) lust to be entertained.

We can't be bored for a minute. Thinking is boring, but a good pissing match catches eyeballs. Trump is the ultimate politician in many senses. And when you think about it, he and the other popular GOP president of the last 100 years are both entertainers fundamentally.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. trump is NOT a politician. Politicians have to find compromises among disparate interests.

[plimsoll]

25. My apologies that should say

GOP politician.

[Stuart G]

16. I save stuff...All kinds of "stuff"..Somewhere in a pile I got that "Mad Magazine.".

But which pile of "stuff" is that one in?.....Only the shadow knows...

[Duppers]

20. K & R

I used to think he was just a malignant
narcissistic fraud but he's also a top-shelf psychopathic liar - there are no boundaries on what he's willing to destroy. Perhaps he'd stop only for Ivanka.

22. He's been in the tabloids/media/popular culture since the '80s when CEOs/Wall Street

men and their trophy wives (designer clothes and penthouses) became the new celebrities. He's also been involved in politics for decades, planned to run for president for a long time (one of the reasons he married Marla Maples was because he was thinking of running for president and thought because she was from the South it would help with votes). Why people had amnesia about a celebrity like this is incredibly odd. But then, everything these days is.

[misanthrope]

23. I've been saying this for years

Plenty of people knew this guy was a con and a fraud for decades now.
