At first, I was excited when he bought into the USFL. I loved watching Spring football, they had a focused leadership team that knew their limitations and they had lots of former NFL players. Having many NFL level players in a new league was a big deal for this 15 year old sports fan in 1983. 1984 was supposed to be bigger and better because Trump was throwing money into the league. But it didn't take long until I saw that he was just a two faced, sleezy, arrogant liar that only had money because his dad was rich, not because he was a good businessman.
Then, after two seasons, he pushed them to go to the Fall to compete with the NFL and then he was exposed for not doing anywhere near enough research. Ignoring the people telling him that they couldn't compete with the NFL and blindly going forward anyway because of his ego is something he never grew out of.
And in the 40 years since . . . I've seen NOTHING from him that would change my opinion. It got to the point that if he was on Letterman or another talk show that I was watching, I would watch until he came on because I had already seen his schtick . . . he is never funny and he has nothing to promote but himself. It is baffling to me that people see this buffoon as a leader. With so many failures in his life, the only thing that he has been financially successful at is convincing lower/middle income people to send him money.
He was an egomaniacal jerk in the 80s Andrew has said boy gotten worse in the past 40 years
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
