One of Trump's former associates described him as nothing more than a pompous charlatan who would probably be broke if his real estate empire were left to stand on its own without all the silly nonsense he does on the side (books, stupid "get rich quick" seminars, his television show, and now even World Wrestling Federation appearances -- which is about as clear a case of "jumping the shark" as I've ever seen).
"a pompous charlatan "
You are correct sir!
Trump is all facade like so many people and fads these days. There's nothing behind the curtain.
It's the age of artifice, contrivance and affectation.
The age of glitz and phoniness.
Do not get me started.
Most if not many or all,....wouldn't know reality if it came up and bit them on their little fanny.
