to identify when Trump earned his first "Scumbag" badge. For that, you'd probably have to harken back another 20 years.

Didn't he do the same with cancer fund charity money and take a 12% cut at one time?

(90,787 posts)4. Trump truly is the perfect caricature of himself.
Everything about Trump is grotesque; his speech, his thoughts, his physical appearance (and I mean what you see when you see Trump) - his posture, his hand gestures, the wrinkled suit, the too long tie, the self-inflicted disaster he calls hair - all that, along with the surfeit of evidence that tells us he has styled his low self-esteem and insecurities into badges of honor, wherein he proudly displays by foisting his grotesqueries on the rest of us through his over-inflated, albeit incredibly needy, ego.
