Donald Has Always Been a Pig
He’s only getting worse as his mind crumbles

Back on October 14, 2016, just four weeks before the American voters lost their minds and elected Donald Trump president, Time Magazine reported this:
‘CNN uncovered a 2004 interview with Donald Trump and Howard Stern in which the two men discuss Lohan, who was 18 at the time. The men talk about Lohan’s appearance and how “wrecked” and “troubled” she was at the time. Stern asked Trump, “Can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?” Obviously, Trump could. He responded, “She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they’re always the best in bed?”’
Lohan was 18 at the time Trump said that, going on to complain about her freckles, which he apparently found unattractive.
Oddly, Lohan was supporter of Trump in the early days of the new administration, telling a British outlet, “I don’t agree with his policies and the things that he’s doing, but at the end of the day he is the president right now, so what’s the point in picking on someone instead of just seeing what they’re capable of or not capable of?” However, aside from some mild trolling in 2017 that Trump might want to talk to the website Lohan was shilling for—lawyers.com—she hasn’t spoken about him since.
The same CNN article went on to disclose another statement by Trump that partially previews one of Trump’s more bizarre statements in 2025: that he wanted to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship.
“In a later interview with Stern in February 2007, Trump, then best known for NBC reality show The Apprentice, also made derogatory remarks about longtime nemesis Rosie O’Donnell.
“I’d pay a lot of money for that not to happen,” Trump responded to Stern asking whether he would reconcile with Rosie O’Donnell if she performed a sex act on him. “That’s one of the most unattractive people,” he said.”
As support for Trump continues to crumble amongst his once-adoring fans, I’m hearing, more and more, “We had no idea…” No idea he was dishonest. No idea he was authoritarian. No idea he was a chauvinistic pig. No idea he was a thief. No idea he was the monster he really is.
The other day on Facebook, I wrote to one person who was astounded that a contractor refused to do business after seeing a Trump sign on the property, “It’s no longer ‘just politics’; if you still support Trump at this point, it speaks to what sort of person you are, your principles, your decency.” I was nice enough to refrain from pointing out that the Trumpkins on the Supreme Court had upheld the right of business owners to refuse to do business because of sexual preference, or political opinion.
I have no use for the “no idea” people. We’ve known for many, many years exactly what Trump was. He is not only the most hated man in America, but he may just be the most hated man in American history. There’s a coffee cup design that’s popular right now: shows a jaundiced-looking cat above the caption, “Is He Dead Yet?” Nobody ever needs to ask to whom the cat is referring. Hint: It isn’t Jon Arbuckle.
I’ve had people tell me with a perfectly straight face that before Trump entered politics, he was wildly popular and beloved by all, and he sacrificed all that to serve the people. No, really.
Clear back in 1987—yes, 38 years ago!–Trump was cannon fodder for notable comic strips such as Bloom County (Berkeley Breathed) and Doonesbury (Garry Trudeau). I’ve included a couple of copyright violations here, for which I hope to propitiate by linking to Trudeau’s marvelous collection, “Yuge!: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump (Volume 37)”
1987. That was before Trump’s disgraceful calls for the executions of the Central Park Five and before when Trump repeated that demand after the five had been exonerated. That was before Marla Maples, and the squalor of his life revealed. It was before 9/11, before he mocked a disabled reporter, before he raped E. Jean Carroll, and before he became America’s maddest, most vicious, and possibly final President.
In a more recent 1991 sequence, Trudeau had his vacuous TV personality/reporter Roland Hedley interviewing on-the-street New Yorkers about Trump’s hoped-for financial demise. “Curious locals have gathered on the street!” he intones. “Tell me, sir—what will you miss about The Donald’s lifestyle?” Interviewee One replies “Hard to say. There so much that’s repellent about the guy, the boasting, the piggish consumption, the squalid personal life…” Interviewee two interrupts, “How about the hideous décor of his casinos?” “Nah,” One replies, “Who cares about décor? His squalid personal life was the most offensive thing about him!” “It was not! The worst was the hideous décor!” The crowd breaks out in a “Tastes great!” “Less filling!”-type chant while Roland grins at the viewpoint and says, “New Yawkers! They never agree! What are you gonna do, Peter?”
In one panel, the crowd is shouting “JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!” and Roland says, “Peter, the excitement is palpable here tonight…”
Donald Trump is a morally bankrupt pig, and he always has been. If you don’t believe that, you are either a massive fool or there is something very deeply wrong with you.
And he’s only gotten worse, and is a greater danger to all of us.
If you think it’s still “just politics” I don’t know you. I don’t want to know you. You’re disgusting.
And if you are unlucky enough to know such a person, get them a copy of Trudeau’s collection. Watching them read it will make it worth the fourteen bucks!
