    By “being a thing” I meant playing a major role. I’d say that started when he declared that he was running for president in 2015.

      He played a major role since the 80s. From his discussions on opera, to his central park 8 add, to his many political endorsements.

      This isn’t new. It’s been a carefully orchestrated , multi decade coup in the making. Ala Margaret Atwood

        Being an obnoxious rich New York asshole and slumlord isn’t the same thing as being a big political player. He was just a crooked real estate boss mixed up with the mob

            I think I’m in agreement. He’s scum. They’re scum. Let’s just label scum what it is and move on. Everyone wants to have these opioniated diatribes. Scum doesn’t deserve effort.

        Before 2015, Trump was just one voice in the cacophony of madness that is the US far right.
