Trump was a total cunt before he even thought of running for presidency. His parents sent him to New York military academy at 13 because they didn't want to be around his shit behaviour.

I'm 1973 him and his cunt father were investigated for being racist, discriminating against renting to blacks.

In 1990 he opened the trump Taj Mahal which was a complete blunder and spiralled the company into huge debt, even with Fred committing fraud and buying 3 million in chips from Donald's casino so he could make an interest payment, to avoid bankruptcy.

Lenders forced the son to sell assets, including his yacht and the Trump Shuttle airline, and he had to agree to live on a budget. A biography of Trump published in 1993 was unflatteringly called Lost Tycoon; it said Trump was reduced to a “public laughingstock” by financial woes and a personal scandal, his acrimonious divorce from first wife Ivana and marriage to actress Marla Maples.

DONALD TRUMP
DONALD TRUMP: LIFE BEFORE THE PRESIDENCY
By Jackie Calmes
Donald John Trump, the fourth of five children of Fred and Mary Trump, was born on June 14, 1946, in New York City’s Queens borough. The family lived in the upscale community of Jamaica Estates, reflecting the success of Fred’s company—Elizabeth Trump & Son, named for his mother and business partner—in developing properties for middle-class families in Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The three Trump sons—Fred Jr., Donald, and Robert—worked summers and some weekends on construction sites or in offices when they were old enough; the daughters, Elizabeth and Maryanne, were not brought into the business because, Elizabeth would say, “It’s a man’s family.” (Fred Jr., an airline pilot, died in 1981 of alcoholism; Donald cited Fred’s fate to explain why he does not drink or smoke. Robert became an executive in the family business.)

Trump apparently proved a handful for his parents. “He was a pretty rough fellow when he was small,” his father said. Trump’s unbridled energy as a child led his parents to enroll him at 13 in the New York Military Academy, north of New York City, to instill discipline. While Trump reveled in the military drills and trappings, he later avoided service in the Vietnam War with college and medical deferments and a high number in the draft lottery. He started college at Fordham University, but then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School for its real estate studies program. Even as a student, Trump invested in Philadelphia real estate. Graduating in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics, Trump returned to New York and the family business.

In 1973, the Trump company settled a racially charged matter: The Justice Department alleged that the Trump company discriminated against African Americans seeking to rent apartments. The Trumps did not admit wrongdoing but agreed to rent more apartments to blacks. They bought property elsewhere, in Virginia, Ohio, Nevada, and California. The younger Trump, however, eyed expansion closer to home—beyond New York’s outer boroughs to Manhattan. By the mid-1970s, he was branching into Manhattan skyscrapers and had renamed the company the Trump Organization. “Not many sons have been able to escape their fathers,” he would tell an interviewer. Trump became company president, his father the chairman. “Donald has a competitive spirit, and I don’t want to compete with him,” Fred Sr. said in the early 1980s.

Trump’s first big move into Manhattan, at age 30, was to develop the Grand Hyatt Hotel from the carcass of a bankrupt Penn Central Railroad’s Commodore Hotel, abutting Grand Central Terminal. It was a complex transaction enabled by Trump’s partnership with the Hyatt hotel chain, his father’s political pull, and a 40-year city tax abatement worth hundreds of millions of dollars over time, the first-ever such tax break for a commercial property in New York. “The project set the pattern for Mr. Trump’s New York career: He used his father’s, and, later his own, extensive political connections, and relied on a huge amount of assistance from the government and taxpayers,” the New York Times wrote in 2016. (Fred Trump was associated with Brooklyn’s Democratic organization.)

Trump followed by building Trump Plaza, an apartment development, and the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, which became home to luxury stores as well as to Trump’s multifloor, gold-gilt residence and company headquarters. In the 1980s, he got involved in casinos in Atlantic City, including Trump Plaza (originally known as Harrah’s at Trump Plaza) and Trump Castle. In 1990, he opened his so-called “eighth wonder of the world”—the Trump Taj Mahal. At one point, Trump casinos reportedly employed more than 8,000 people and accounted for nearly one-third of the city’s gambling revenues.

Opening the Trump Taj Mahal, however, was a highly leveraged transaction, with Trump taking on significant debt to open the casino. It was the start of a debt spiral that threatened Trump’s casinos and his broader businesses. Trump’s financial situation got so desperate that Fred Trump bought more than $3 million in casino chips to help his son make an interest payment—a gambit later penalized as an illegal loan. Lenders forced the son to sell assets, including his yacht and the Trump Shuttle airline, and he had to agree to live on a budget. A biography of Trump published in 1993 was unflatteringly called Lost Tycoon; it said Trump was reduced to a “public laughingstock” by financial woes and a personal scandal, his acrimonious divorce from first wife Ivana and marriage to actress Marla Maples.

Through the 1990s, Trump finagled his business finances to make debt payments, in the process borrowing more and at higher rates. He formed a publicly traded company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, which helped protect him from personal liability, but never had a profitable year. By 2004, it was in bankruptcy. Bankers sued, alleging that the Trump name connotes “the failure to pay one’s debts.” Trump blamed the general decline of Atlantic City for dragging down his businesses, but his casinos were losing market share to rivals long before the gambling mecca’s slide. In 2009 and 2014, the casinos were in bankruptcy again; by the time Trump announced for president in June 2015, his gambling empire had collapsed. Yet while shareholders and vendors lost their bets, Trump’s financial maneuvers shielded him personally.

The huge orange cunt had been avoiding taxes this entire time as well, but even though he refused to release his tax returns, they are now being investigated, one leak shows he paid less than $300 in tax for a year.

You literally support a fucking scum bag, that doesn't care in the least about your gullible, poor ass.
