(17,181 posts)I think Rump's whole life has been devoted to trying to impress the "old money" folks.
The unfortunate fact that he's a boorish, crass, uncouth, no-class asshole has held him back a bit.

(80 posts)He is a blithering idiot. Can you Imagine him trying to hold a conversation with Musk, Bezos, Bloomberg or Gates? He's too stupid to converse with real successful business people.

(5,477 posts)He had his crews come in and destroy the Art Deco friezes and an ornate gate that the Metropolitan Museum of Art was trying to conserve. He had them jackhammered rather than delay the demolition of the building for 2 freaking weeks so he could build his Tower of Ostentatious Opulence on 5th Avenue. Nobody know what happened to the gates...they have disappeared. And no real New Yorker has ever forgiven him for that asshole move.
Those that know him the best, dislike him the most. (Hence, his receiving of only 10% of the vote in NYC in the 2016 election.)
We hate him because he is an asshole!
That cannot be cured or even modified.

(3,268 posts)He's mentioned in your photo so I checked around...
"When first questioned about the fate of the sculptures, Trump spokesman John Barron claimed that three independent appraisers had declared them to be without artistic merit an assessment that flabbergasted Ashton Hawkins, vice president and secretary of the board of trustees of the Met.
Can you imagine the museum accepting them if they were not of artistic merit? he asked.
Barron said removing the pieces would have cost $32,000 and delayed work by at least a week and a half.
In a follow-up story the next day, Barron conceded that the rare bronze grillwork was missing and said we dont know what happened to it.

(15,888 posts)From the article you linked to:
Trumps use of an assumed name runs counter to the persona he has crafted as the leading Republican candidate for president one of an unfiltered, politically incorrect maverick who is unafraid to say anything. It suggests that the billionaire real estate mogul is or, at least, was not so bold as he likes to present himself.
Remarkably, Trump kept up the charade for a full decade, as reporters unwittingly quoted Barron as if he were a real person. In a LexisNexis search, the first mention of the name appears on June 6, 1980, in a New York Times report about Trumps controversial decision to destroy two Art Deco sculptures he had conditionally promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In that instance, Trump used the alias to stall for three days before finally giving an interview under his own name; when he did, he told the Times that he had been out of town and unavailable (!).
When the original plan to build Trump Castle (in New York, instead of Atlantic City) fell apart in 1984, Barron spun the failure as a business win: It sure is easier to get a large commission on a $105 million sale than to put up a building, New York magazine quoted Barron as saying in its Aug. 13 issue that year, referring to a decision by Trump and partner Prudential Insurance to sell a Madison Avenue property, rather than develop it.
