Gen X and Boomers got zero excuses. Trump was a national laughing stock in the 80s and 90s. Hell, Bloom County ended the comic in '89 with an absurd storyline where Trump buys the comic and fires all the characters. They put him on The Apprentice precisely because he was a bombastic ass we could laugh at. Late night shows lambasted the man every time he hit the news.
Anyone remember when he announced that we were all to refer to him as The Donald? Anyone remember Trump: The Game, a board game where you play a NYC real estate tycoon? Trump was tabloid trash and we all fucking knew it.
