In reply to the discussion: How Long Have You Hated Trump? [View all]Cozmo
(1,402 posts)108. I started hating this asshole in the '80's
when he started fucking up in Atlantic City with his 3 ill-conceived competing casinos. He is the only person in the world who lost money on a Rolling Stones concert. As usual the Stone's made a lot of money from their business venture with tRump. But he is such an ignorant businessman he lost lots of dough on this because tRump wanted the elan associated with the Stones. He told his people to pay any amount of money, even at a loss. It was a loss, BIGLY. Mick and especially Keith wanted nothing to do with him, they wouldn't even let him come to the concert and he owned the concert venue. Now, how stupid is that????
