(26,830 posts)the earlier '80's in my late 20s into my later 30s.
I followed my R&R favorites, some actors, some scientists, and occasionally glanced at the over all "rich & famous".I found him boorish.
I didn't follow big real estate in general (though eventually the middle class building we lived in that our landlord ran down in the '60s was named in the Village Voice's '10 worst landlords of the year' several years after we escaped) so I really didn't know about the crap he pulled or follow that much about finance in general - though I did know about (and be disgusted by) Insider Trading. I watched 2 halves of 2 of his Apprentice show.
With the (CP) Exonerated Five -that- raised my alarm bells into close to hatred. I heard about his casinos.
It was the 'birherism' that solidified my hatred for him. That's when I began to also hear more overall about his bad doings.
But "besides" seeing the increasing cruelty, and evilness in each present day, weeks, months of his pResidency - that's when I found out the full extent (as we currently understand) of his past shady to outright cruel actions.
I will be jubilant when he finally loses his presidencial powers!!!!!
Very concerned about his further influence which we'll see how that unfurls.
