I think now that Trump has dumped the Republican Party, we now get a better view of his pettiness and vengeful mind.
When the candidates didn't take part in Trump show debate it was, in his mind, a direct insult to his enormous ego and has retaliated against the whole of the Republican Party. Remarks include:
"I don't want to ruin my image by saying this, but I'm a much nicer person than people understand," Trump says. "I like to do the right thing and help people. But when people are disloyal to me — I have a couple of instances of well-known people, where I'd help them out, but when I needed a favor, not a big favor in this one case, this guy didn't want to do it. That's 15 years ago. I haven't spoken to him since. He died. He's dead mentally. In other words, for me, they don't exist. I HOLD A GRUDGE. I have the longest memory. I always kick back. I believe in that."
Trump made it clear this morning on Fox Business’s Don Imus show that HE'S GOING TO HOLD A GRUDGE "I don't want to ruin my image by saying this, but I'm a much nicer person than people understand," Trump says. "I like to do the right thing and help people. But when people are disloyal to me — I have a couple of instances of well-known people, where I'd help them out, but when I needed a favor, not a big favor in this one case, this guy didn't want to do it. That's 15 years ago. I haven't spoken to him since. He died. He's dead mentally. In other words, for me, they don't exist. I HOLD A GRUDGE. I have the longest memory. I always kick back. I believe in that."
Trump doesn't like Rove's "joke" comment, either. "That was a very nasty thing for him to say," he mutters darkly. "He shouldn't have said that. We'll have it out with Karl Rove. I don't lose too often."
"I like to do the right thing and help people.

It's kind of weird hearing Trump spit out his words with such rigid vehemence just like he does on his reality show, knowing how huge a constant that grudge-holding is with him and that you yourself might one day be on the receiving end of just such a grudge.
My experience with snakes is that sometimes you can’t see them and sometimes even come close to stepping on them. Snakes are not pompous critters just somewhat sneaky.
Strong suspicion Romney will end up with the nomination. This process is so damn rigged.
Trump holds a grudge—and he knows a lot of people some of them unsavory folks. I don’t blame Trump—He was used by folks and then, when it was to their advantage to dump on him—they did (ie Huntsman, Michele B.). To his credit Newt didn’t neither did Sarah P. We shall see what Trump’s wrath shall be—It will not be pretty but it will be entertaining to watch. He may wait years for his revenge—but it will come. Yes, he is Vindictive and mean in an old 18th century ways. Watch and see.
He probably wouldn’t even do as well as Nader.
I’m loving this 4 year old thread!
What a lot one learns over 4 years.
Some people were ahead of their time. Check out posts 11,17,33 and 36
Yes indeed!
Been looking at some 2011 threads. Trump really got kicked around here- and rightfully so. He was woefully unready for the campaign. I think he spent a lot of the last 4 years preparing for this time around- and, frankly, I’m impressed by that.
Oh well, can’t keep bumping this old thread though. Regards.
