How Early Were We Anti-Trump?

I’m not sure this is possible, unless it’s a reference to Trump before he came onto the political scene.  At that point, many million Americans knew instantly that he was a terrible human being.

I remember calling my mother after the first time I heard Trump speak at an early Republican debate and asking, “There used to be an unwritten rule that a candidate for U.S. president had to at least seem to be a good person.  Isn’t that true?  At what point was that rule abolished?”

Yes, we elected Nixon, but we didn’t know he was a liar and a criminal when we did.
