How long do you believe you would have to be in the presence

of the Orange Insurrectionist to know he was certifiably unfit for office?

If he's shoving people out of the way to get to the front of a photo op, holding a bible up upside-down at a microphone, or grabbing a woman from behind at a party, about 3 seconds.

I have a difficult time picking up on some social cues but not his.

I never needed to be in his presence at all to know he was unfit.
Not like it took any great insight.
Was pretty obvious.

Actually, I'm with Historic NY (post #3). As a New Yorker, I've known Trump is bullshit for decades.

It still amazes me that anyone could listen to Trump and consider him a serious person.

Trump is an idiot.

And he was arguing with Dave about the "Mosque at Ground Zero." And Dave, who always claimed to know nothing about politics, straightened him out. After that exchange, who would have imagined that this clueless bigoted creep would ever run for POTUS???

it would be the first time I'd ever heard of or seen him, so it might take a few minutes.

If you were watching his antics around 1990, you knew that he was 10 pounds of bullshit in a 5-pound bag. That was even before the gory details of the Trump Organization frauds came out.
