I know he used to have that TV show I never watched but Pam mentioned it on the office.

I remember seeing him in home alone but I was a small kid, I didn’t get who he was.

Hell I even remember liking Elon Musk the celeb for abit.

So why was Trump ever cool or popular or famous?

    My dad is about 60. White Midwestern man. Loved trash TV right after reality TV had that first big wave. He loved the one about tow trucks and The Apprentice. My dad thought it was so cool.

    I also had an ancient as shit 5th grade teacher in about 1999. She was maybe… 60? Older? She would always say dumb shit like “as rich as Donald Trump, but you guys are too young to know about him.”

    In the Sopranos, Tony’s son is coming of age and his dad wants him to go to college so he doesn’t follow him into crime. But AJ tells his dad at one point he wants to becomr a helicopter pilot. And fly for people like Trump.

    He was always lurking in the background. Like a celebrity for morons.
