At this point it’s fascinating just how many of the tropes and stereotypes for evil, sleazy, rich guy that he embodies. He’s a cartoon character, Ebenezer Scrooge would think he was a greedy prick before his Christmas transformation, even 8 fucking years into this shit show I still cannot understand how he’s even a real person
In the 80s the “asshole billionaire real estate developer” was the bad guy in a ton of movies and modeled after guys like Trump. Just one I can think of off the top of my head is Batteries Not Included, and of course Back to the Future II
Yeah i knew he was the basis for a lot of those characters , but i think you could look even further back to like Hanna Barbera cartoons or black and white westerns where the evil banker that was gonna close the family ranch unless they got an inflated rent by the end of the month
I call him Biff because that character is supposedly directly based on little d.
Trump, and Leona Helmsley of “only the little people pay taxes” infamy.
He’s the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins.
That’s been the craziest thing of these last 8 years. In reality he is far too stereotypical and on the nose. We would never accept such a lazily written character in our fiction.
