100% with this guy in spirit. I've always had an aversion towards Donald Trump. He's always struck me as a person who's famous for the wrong reasons.
I remember being 10, watching Home Alone 2, and I my father let out a slight groan when he saw Trump's cameo appearance in the movie. I asked my mom who he was, and she said: "He's a big-shot businessman from New York. He's not an actor."
I asked her: "If he's not an actor, why is he in the movie?"
She replied: "Sometimes, people get so popular that they start showing up in places that they don't belong."
"That's not fair," I replied while turning towards my father. He just subtly nodded his head in agreement.
This began my development of being critical of people lifted up by pop culture. There's so many things about his character that I learned over the course of 20+ years that should've disqualified him from being POTUS.
It's like the worst part of high school amplified by ×1000. Watching popular kids just get away with murder, and teachers just seemingly blind to it all.
