I did not even know most of what you told me to be honest. I did not follow it that closely. But I could see how that could change one’s opinion of him.
for you it was that. For me it was his vision of the world trade center. And I’m sure there are other things he did that made people think maybe this guy could be a great leader.
But a Conservative Christian? I think I would have doubled over laughing if someone told me he would ever be that.
Ironically I should have known what he was doing because I did it on interviews and with higher up bosses myself several times.
you agree with idiotic left-of-center ideas. You nod. You say yeah that could work. Because you need a job and you need to hold that job and hopefully advance.
But once I had enough time and higher ups behind me I would speak the truth.
it’s terrible that game has to be played but I guess politics is a game played everywhere
Leonard Tose losing his trucking company by gambling it all away in AC. The MOVE seige and subsequent fire, which happened just a few blocks from where I lived. Teddy Pendergrass's little "accident" in Wissahickon Park. An incident with a gerbil that ended the career of an extremely popular Philadelphia media personality. Many personal problems and experiences that had to be worked through. My first exposure to "the homeless," who my Philadelphia friends called "vent men" at the time. Many, many others.
But Donald Trump was a presence. I heard a story at one of the jobs I had in NJ that Donald Trump had paid off a guy's mortgage after the guy pulled over to offer assistance to a limo that was pulled off on the shoulder of the NJ Turnpike; the limo happened to be carrying Donald Trump and some of his AC staff. This was after the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of some of his top people as they were commuting from NYC to AC for meetings. When that happened, btw, Donald Trump was interviewed and he was quite emotional, really shocked and nearly unable to speak.
