6. What you posted makes a lot of sense, in terms of chronology

May 2018

He started out with a million dollars from dad, and his Rolodex.

Then there was the time Fred sent one of his lackeys to the casino with $3 million in poker chips to get him out of debt.

What I took away from your post, which seems to be spot-on, is that when the easy money and special favors stopped flowing freely, that's when we got the current version of Trump.

As far as what I think of him goes, I don't have much to say other than the reasons you laid out. I don't "hate" him in general terms. He repels me due to the sum tootal of who and what he is. I'm more convinced that he believed he could sucker and manipulate the Republicans than I believe he "IS" a Republican. I think "Republican" and I think Ryan or McConnell, and that's a whole other kind of disgusting. In terms of his personal life, particularly when it comes to women, I see him as foul, odious, and lacking any character.
