15. Much of the traditional American Media has become nut-less wonders over the years.

I mean what % of Americans know that Donald Trump had to go to Military School in order to
avoid having to go to a juvenile detention program after he put a much smaller student in the
hospital from a beating, tried to throw a teacher out a window, flunked out of Fordham, and that
he has a lifetime of being a no good shit. An electrician I know did some work in the NYC area
in the 80 & 90s and one of his clients was an Italian Businessman’s organization* and when he first
started working in the area members of the mafia told him never to do anything for Trump or any
of his businesses because he was a crook. If we had an honest media Trump would never have
gotten close to the White House. Trump learned his craft from Roy Cohn and that was to lie all the
time, do not pay your bills, and never admit a mistake.

* He was sent to club/restaurant in N.J. to do some work and they liked him and treated him well
and kept asking him back and after he found out who his customers were he decided that saying
no to them wasn’t a good idea. As per what they did he told me that sometimes not knowing “stuff”
was fine by him. True story.
