(3,275 posts)I remember hearing his name when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s but I didn't really have an opinion of him. I thought he was just another selfish, rich prick who married a much younger woman. I never watched "The Apprentice" and neither did anyone of my friends or family.
I was working at a newspaper when he announced his campaign. We had several TVs on at work so I watched for a short while. I was laughing about how stupid it was. Then he said that Mexicans were drug dealers, criminals and rapists. I remember saying "this guy is an as****e" and went back to what I was working on my computer.
I figured that he would drop out soon and I wouldn't have to think about him again. Of course, since I worked at a major newspaper, that did not happen.
