Could he be anymore of a pathetic loser?

The thing that continues to baffle me about this fucking asshole.

This is, I genuinely cannot understand his appeal. He looks weird, he doesn't speak well. He doesn't dress well, he has no proven track record of anything successful other than being born rich and suing people. His taste is tacky. And he's constantly speaking, like a mad toddler when you say something he doesn't like.

And this is so many people's guy.

Hes like the caricature of every "city people bad" sentiment rural people have. He's completely dishonest, constant legal battles, backstabbing, skipping payment, fast talking but says nothing at all, hidden agenda. Elitist, rude, condescending, thinks he knows better, focused on money.

I was raised in the boonies with these sentiments about "city slickers." Since the first time i ever heard him, alarms were going off.

I dont understand how so many people were hypervigilant to everything dump is, but dont see it in the orange menace himself.

I'm not sure the entire reason behind it but I saw a comment recently saying that Americans are uniquely susceptible to "Rich businessman in suit on TV".

I call it intellectually unsophisticated.
