3. I think he'd be a small time Queens criminal, in and out of jail constantly

all big talk but such incompetent action that he was kept small time, nobody in the mob trusting him in any way.

Her is not a smart man. Moving from place to place to find fertile ground for a new pack of lies wouldn't occur to him.

and landed a series of jobs as a bar bouncer. He might have been halfway decent at that.

But yeah, most likely a chalk outline long before he got to his present age.

Trump would be that annoying loudmouth at the end of the bar, the know-it-all that everyone tries to avoid. He hits on all the attractive young women in spite of being rejected over and over again. With the men, he is a very loud expert on every subject and unless he buys some broke schmuck a drink, most patrons find an excuse to move elsewhere or leave the bar.

I've waited on my share of Donald Trumps minus the fame and fortune.

him years ago. I found him to be really peculiar, almost amusing, and I realized that many of the obnoxious people I'd waited on would be pretty much like Trump if they had the money. Probably without the bizarre hair and makeup however. Even THEY weren't that weird.

maybe he wouldn't have had a sense of entitlement and he might have learned something in school. If he hadn't had an abusive father, he might have even been a decent guy.

And we would never have heard of him.

Dang, he can't even crime well! What a loser!

And yet he inspires such loyalty and allegiance in his followers.
They love and laud this POS ? WTAF?
Frickin unbelievable and completely ridiculous.
