Everyone loved Donald Trump until he ran for president. He was a media darling, surrounded by wealth and beautiful women. He had charisma and he knew he owned whatever space he entered.
A look back at a recirculating video from 1988 shows just how far American society has been irrevocably damaged by the left. Oprah, no fan of conservatives and herself an oft-mentioned presidential candidate, gave Trump a calm, respectful, and sincere audience when he came on her talkshow. Mr. Fascist Mysogynist White Supremacist going on a black woman’s #1-rated show? Get out of here.
This is a great look back on more civil times:
Oprah begins by asking if he has presidential aspirations, noting that some of the things he was saying sounded “political.”
Trump does the rest.
“Probably not [run for president], but I do get tired of seeing the country ripped off.
I just probably wouldn’t do it…but I do get tired of seeing what’s happening with this country and if it got so bad I would never want to rule it out totally.
Because I really am tired of seeing what’s happening with this country – how we’re really making other people live like kings and we’re not.”
Does any of this sound familiar? This is trademark Trump; he sees that the American people are getting screwed and identifies with those problems. Then he concludes with a gangbusters response to Oprah:
“I think I’d win, I tell you what, I wouldn’t go in to lose. I’ve never gone in to lose in my life.
If I did decide to do it…I would say that I’d have a hell of a chance of winning because I think people…are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.”
Can you imagine Donald Trump sitting down to a fair interview in 2022 with someone like Oprah? Joy Behar? For starters, they wouldn’t even allow that – lest they give him positive exposure to their leftist daytime women audience. They’d scream, he’d be booed, and amazingly, his candor and speaking isn’t really all thaty different now than it was almost forty years ago.
And that’s what really stood out as I was watching this. A younger Trump expressed the exact same sentiments and evoked the exact same emotions in 1988 as he did he did in 2016 and beyond. He loves this country and hates seeing it crumble at the hands of corrupt, globalist bureaucrats.
I don’t think he ever wanted to run, but he had to in order to beat back the ever-encroaching leftist horde.

Back then niggers and cunts still knew their place. Now we’re the niggers.
We’ve been the niggers since at least the ’70s … even public blacks told US that we were — to our faces …
Says the man who oversaw one of the largest expansions of the government. Deciding who was essential or not, treating all citizens as vectors of disease to be imprisoned in our homes. Not to mention the murder shot that Trump is still bragging about.
His “concern” for Americans is all theater.
Rothschild banker Wilbur Ross bailed me out 3-4 years later and I abandoned the republic to an illegitimate president 30 years after that.
Did you forget about THIS part of THE SHOW?
Brother…I’d like to forget a lot of shit. Unfortunately, alcohol tops out at 200 proof.
There’s always equal parts Windex and prune juice for when you run out!!!
Trump never changes. His opinion then is his opinion now. That’s why people like him and accept his faults. Politicians are lying bags of feces who don’t have an ounce of respect for the people of this country.
Please. The people of this country are lying bags of shit! Where the fuck do you think these politicians come from? They’re the VERY BEST we have to offer!
That’s on us.
You should have studied George Carlin.
Abolish the state.

SEVERAL. ‘Apprentices’. Kept waiting in the wings at all times. NO DIFFERENT than ‘deciding’…”WHAT to Wear, what to wear”, Occasion irrelevant.
‘Exposing’ the Deep State? Generally, “people” are ????
Was he even inaugurated at the time when he said Old What’s Her Name was “good people” Appointments. From the Git-Go.
🤮
VOTE. HARDER.
Funny, I never noticed this but Trump looked a little bit like Dennis Hopper. But, Hopper is dead. But then, so is Trump.
Well I don’t think he was back then.
My first impression of Trump was that he would be a super scary good car salesman. Now He is too old, repeats sentences and brought us the beer virus, and pushed drugs for big Pharma. Destroying millions of businesses.
He could have just told people to use common sense and take care of themselves like the many flu seasons of the past. It’s really bad when he is the best option the country seems to have.
“…It’s really bad when he is the best option the country seems to have…”
A lot of really BIG people worked very, very hard to bring about exactly those conditions!!!
And the Main Event of the evening is scheduled to begin soon!!!
And on that happy note, I think I’ll pack for a trip to the range.
Good idea.
My first impression was “Here comes trouble”. FTR…I’d have thought that no matter who “won”.
