I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it, but back before he did “The Apprentice”, I’ll admit I was somewhat fascinated by Trump as a business “mogul”. I read at least 5 of his books starting with “Art of the Deal”. Here are some highlights I remember:
He constantly bragged about deals in which he completely fucked someone over. Not once did he acknowledge it - at all. It’s like it never entered his mind. Or, that the more he fucked someone over, the more proud he was.
He bragged about never preparing for speeches. He likes to completely wing it every time - which I guess is obvious.
He claimed to never eat lunch. Too busy “making deals” he said.
He used to be very good friends with the Clintons. Went to their parties often. Spoke very highly of them.
Didn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein at all. You know, like all those pictures of them together might have been a secret?
Talked about times when he was flat broke or in the hole and how he needed to fake that he was rich to keep up appearances so people would want to do deals with him. I remember one paragraph where he was walking into a building in NY with Ivanka and pointed out a homeless person and told her “See that man. He has more money than me.”
Long before he entered politics, based on those books, I knew Donald Trump was a despicable piece of shit.
During his presidency I heard people say he thinks there’s no such thing as a win-win deal. According to him, one party has to be a loser, and the more they lose the more you win. Your first point seems to point to that as well.
