52. My dad referred to him as "Dumb Trump".

May 25

My now deceased dad had worked in the building trades industry in NYC on high rise building projects for 30 plus years so he “knew” Trump then. He would never quote him because Trump was never a straight payer as his reputation was known for always looking to make some sort of a “deal”.
My dad, a WWII and Korean War Navy veteran, was so appalled that his fellow Americans would vote for this guy.
