he's a once-typical north american businessman who made his way up by bullying tactics and buying favours.

There were many of them around in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Trump and his father were/are throw backs to that era.

His grandfather, an immigrant from Germany (I think), made the start of the family's fortune running a brothel in Alaska around the 1860s/1870s, then moved to New York city.

You may have read about how some of the early ones bought their way in high social circles by "buying" a husband for a daughter from among the English aristocracy. I thin Winston Churchill's mother Jennie was one of those daughters.


Perhaps you can gather what I really really think of him! ;-) :-D

People in high positions do not always owe their status to being the best persons for their job on the basis of ability. :-\

I wonder why his eyebags are a different colour to his face? :-S
I don't need to know really I don't.
I just need to erase that image from my mind.
Any tips?
Brillo?

I thought it was Canute, but now I’m wondering if it is Nero! ;-)
