45. Many people have known him to be what he is for decades.

I was literally given a 'Why You Must Hate Donald Trump' tour of NYC by a friend in 84 or 85. I'm saying my friend asked me to swear to always oppose Trump. 30 years ago.
Not everyone was fooled, many persons turned down his offers and refused his gatherings. Trump was a regular target of ACT UP in the late 80's, they did a Halloween action at Trump Tower, very fitting for a horror show. There were a good number of arrests at more than one of their actions..

Not everyone has been slapping back and doing photo ops with him. Some have even declined large fees from his TV show. Yes.
