      I can think of maybe one way to get him to actually go through with it. Have NBC get in contact with him. Tell him they want to do a new season of the apprentice. Apprentice Reikers island.

      When folks claimed, in 2015, that no one hated trump before he ran for president (also forgetting he ran a sweaty napkin of a campaign years prior) I always loved playing a couple songs by the Coup.

      They had someone pretending to be him rap in one from 1994 (the joke being that he’s hated even by other rich assholes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrSk8Um2Sso (lyrics here: https://genius.com/The-coup-pimps-free-stylin-at-the-fortune-500-club-lyrics)

      And in a powerful line in a track of their 2001 album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84bJG5qj96w (lyrics here: https://genius.com/The-coup-ghetto-manifesto-lyrics)

      I practice this like a sport, met Donald Trump and he froze up

      Standing on his Bentley yelling, “Pimps down, hoes up”

        Of all the absurd claims that Trump supporters regularly make that’s one of the most absurd. Donald Trump hates New York because the NYC elites didn’t accept him as one of their own. The dude was a social pariah that had to resort to crashing parties because he’d never actually get an invite. Even the average New Yorker on the street has known since the '80s that he’s nothing but a silver-spooned fame seeking circus clown.

        In the late '80s and early 90s, Spy magazine did an annual “Top 10 Worst People” issue and Donald Trump always made it. Hilariously/depressingly each entry had a “mitigating factor” - Trump’s was always “at least he’s not in politics”.

          Yes, I barely paid attention to such things, and I remember many people dunking on this asshole back in the 80s. I think Stern had him on later because just so many people hate this stuffed shirt daddy’s boy long, long before he ran in 2015.

        I’ve hated Donald Trump since he ruined our Christmas Eve in 1989.

        When I was young, we had a family tradition of buying a new board game every year for Christmas. It was the one gift we would open as a family on Christmas Eve, so we’d have something new and fun to do together for the evening. In 1989, Milton Bradley released Trump: The Game. My older brother, who has always been interested in ways to get rich, was a fan of Donald Trump at the time (he got better), and insisted that we get the game that year. It was awful. We played it once and I don’t think we ever opened the box again. It was somehow simultaneously too confusing and too simplistic to be fun.

          I thought this was going to go in a different direction. I thought you were going to say that he ruined Christmas because he didn’t pay for work performed by one of your parents. It was a thing! People in South Jersey used to hate him because of that. Many of them now love him and somehow seem to have forgotten the damage he did in the '90s.

            Why do people work for people like that? I have a standing policy, you back charge or pay late and we are done professionally. I got one customer at work who threatened a back charge, didn’t but threatened it, every single quote to them gets a 300% adder and I copy every department head. I call it the back-charge adder.

          Oh, God. I asked for that game as well and unfortunately got it. Worst board game I’ve ever played. Thought it would be close to Monopoly… or even Hotels which also came out in the 80s and was decent. Couldn’t be more wrong. I think I still have it in my childhood closet. I would sell it on eBay, but I think I’m just gonna toss it into the garbage… while also letting the pieces fall out so no one else can play it. He’s been grifting people his whole life.

        I think a great many people knew he was a gigantic douchebag in the 80s. People in the region - even sooner; probably knew in the 70s. It was clear he was a total asshat.

    He really does seem to be trying to emulate Hitler, right down to running for office while in prison for an attempted coup. The only difference was that Hitler was not quite 40 when he did that. If Trump goes to actual prison (and doesn’t get some cushy house arrest), he is old enough that he doesn’t have much time left after that.

      This is exactly it, but he foresees becoming some kind of political prisoner ‘martyr for the cause’ that will ‘surely rally everyone behind him’ for the election.

          And I guarantee you no one filthy rich faces a real prison sentence that anyone of us would face. He’d be living better than most of us in prison. Even if he’s found guilty of tons of crimes they’ll find a way he doesn’t have to go to prison though, because all bullshit aside, they’re all friends. Remember Clinton’s secret memo to boost Trump up in the primaries?

            I fucking hate this. If I ever go to jail I am pretty sure it would be a hellish experience that would break me, even if I survived until release my life would be over. I can’t see any way he gets more than fines and house arrest.

        Though it’d be interesting to see what happens if he’s put in prison. I say we put him in prison and see.

      Back in highschool i studied ww2 specifically the Nazis. Was was astonished that anyone could pull that off. Used to think “how the hell was he able to get all these people behind his bullshit?” And “people have learned and hopefully it never repeats itself”.

      Yeah, I agree that it would be a big win for the country and improve the state of democracy in America if Trump went to jail.

      Since everybody seems to agree here, why not go ahead with it?
