6. I sort of vaguely met Tr*mp back in the 1980s

Saturday

at some development-related news conference in NJ. He was among a group of local officials and development partners for a hotel project. I was one of several newspaper reporters introduced to them and vice versa.

I don't recall speaking with him, but I got a chillingly bad vibe when we nodded to one another. A feeling that here was someone diseased of mind, body, personality. He seemed to emanate a kind of sickness, a wrongness that repelled me. I moved as far away from him in the room as possible.

I had of course heard of him as a publicity-hungry jerk in NYC. He was considered a joke back then.
