The Real Cost of Those Eggs pt.25
Watching and reading some results of Trump’s first 100 days from his supporters & the GOP, you would swear, “He walks on water.”
The Myth
(Notes From Wikipedia)
The true story of Donald Trump's appearance on "The Apprentice" reveals that his on-screen persona was heavily manufactured through editing, according to a producer of the first two seasons, Bill Pruitt. Pruitt stated that Trump struggled to articulate ideas on the show and often forgot contestants' names, leading to extensive post-production editing to enhance his dialogue and create the illusion of a successful businessman.
Editing and Scripting: Pruitt revealed that Trump's dialogue was heavily edited, with him often being fed lines to appear more articulate and business-savvy.
Real vs. TV Appearance: The production team even rented vacant Trump Tower space to create a more luxurious backdrop for the show, as Trump's actual office space was seen as too small and poorly furnished for the intended image.
The Moral Man
More than 20 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct, ranging from harassment to assault. He has denied all allegations. In 2023, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll and ordered to pay millions in damages. Trump has openly admitted to extramarital affairs (including on tape), and faced legal trouble over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress.
He has also had a widely publicized affair with Marla Maples while still married to Ivana. This affair became tabloid fodder and ultimately led to Ivana and Donald’s high-profile divorce in 1992. Enter Trump’s 3rd Wife. To which Trump has been accused of having multiple affairs during his marriage to Melania.
The Crook
(From Law & Crime)
The first lawsuit we found was filed in 1983 by Harry Diduck, Joseph Hardy, and members of the Local 95 pension fund against Donald Trump and Trump’s organization. Diduck’s and his crew contended that Trump cheated workers out of at least $300,000 in contributions to its benefit funds by secretly employing nonunion workers during the building of Trump Tower. After years of litigation, including a bench trial, the case was finally closed in 1999, but we can’t get the details because the settlement agreement is sealed
The U.S. Department of Justice sued Trump for an antitrust violation in 1988 and won. Trump was forced to pay $750,000. The real-estate magnate agreed to pay the penalty stemming from his attempted takeovers of two companies. The feds said that his stock purchases in the companies violated the FTC’s notification requirements.
1990 was a big legal year for Donald Trump. He was named as a defendant in 21 lawsuits filed by different businesses and individuals. Several sued him for securities fraud and breach of contract. Most of the complaints stem from Trump’s corporation filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after creditors followed the building of the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. By 1991, the resort was nearly $3 billion in debt,
It’s not just Trump being sued. He has sued Palm Beach, where he has a home, at least three different times. In 1992, he filed a $100 million lawsuit over the membership club Mar-a-Lago. The council eventually “acquiesced” and allowed him to make some of his property into a private club. He then sued the Palm Beach Airport for noise violations and tried to prevent them from expanding near his private club. Palm Beach County estimates that legal fights with Trump related to the airport have cost taxpayers at least $600,000. The most entertaining is probably the $25 million lawsuit he filed against the town, which cited him for displaying an American flag on his property. “The town council of Palm Beach should be ashamed of itself,” Trump said, according to Politico. “They’re fining me for putting up the American flag. This is probably a first in United States history.”
A college student filed a lawsuit against Trump’s profit seeking college, Trump University, and a federal judge eventually ordered the school to pay $798,000 in legal fees, according to Courthouse News. The student claimed the university and Trump engaged in deceptive practices, and that the seminars were nothing more than infomercials. In 2013, the New York AG sued Trump for $40 million, saying he helped run a phony school — Trump University — which made false claims and steered students towards useless seminars.

Knowing that nothing I can write or say or do will ever change the mind of a full-blown Trumpper. They believe in what he says. Sad when you think that your Neighbors and friends have digested and live on every word he speaks. Hopefully, the media will start shining more light on the energy of these daily protests. If that doesn’t do it, the Trump nation awaits with bated breath that most beautiful word, Tariff.
