  • He would probably be living in some low-rent foreign country trolling on internet forums.

  • Or big bubbas caddy in the penitentiary ehh?He definitely has criminal tendencies.

  • A man like him, a self-driven man, would make his own fortune, pity that you can't tell a looser from a winner.

One thing is for sure, the US wouldn't have had to see something as preposterous as this.

She stands head and shoulders over the silly little muppet that preceded her.

As bad as Trump and his team may be, just consider what a guaranteed disaster a Kamala Harris administration would have been.

The sad old gits are at it once again. Jealous because they didn't have wealthy parents and couldn't make it on their own.

Karine Jean-Pierre was an intellectual powerhouse compared to her boss.

That pair make Trump look like he should be on Mt.Rushmore.

Rubbish. Harris (and just about anyone else on the planet) would have been waaaaaaaay better than the crime lord that's currently occupying the Pimp Palace.

You mean like muttering, stuttering, slurring, couldn't remember his own name, didn't know what day it was, nor what planet he was on - Mr. Joe Biden?

 

Oh yeah, he was top notch!

He'd be stopping fat people entering the country, just not as rich.

Fantastic stuff.

 

Next move is to make all Thai nationals do 90 day reports and pay inflated prices at national parks.

At his age, and having lived on the diet and the lifestyle he has, if he had made it through Vietnam and as as far as Covid, probably dead.

Certainly not "top notch", but better than Trump in every conceivable way. Every. single. one.

  I would say that Trump would be in exactly the same place he is in now, regardless of how much money he was originally born into.   As a "barely literate moron"  naturally he ended up bankrupt several times, something you haters love to go on about,  so any inheritance was well and truly squandered a long time ago, several times over .   he had to start again with nothing , and yet there he is,  a billionaire

You obviously haven't a clue as to how bankruptcy works.

 

Trump has never declared personal bankruptcy, rather six of his ventures filled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This allowed for restructuring so as to avoid personal bankruptcy, but instead resulted in substantial financial losses for his companies and of course any creditors, of which there were many; Trump tries hard to avoid paying bills.

 

There's never been a starting over from nothing for him, investors and creditors quite possibly!

He would probably be a small developer worth 25 million at the most, and all of that money would have been amassed through robbing small contractors. He's not a smart guy nor is he very imaginative. He absolutely demolished 17 large businesses and his level of bankruptcies were in the tens of billions. It takes a special kind of skill to do that, especially when it comes to gambling. 

Actually I dont know if I agree with your first sentence. A friend of mine from school had a father same as fred trump. My school friend learnt from his father and started doing up houses and ripping off small contractors along the way. One turned up to his house when I was there. They knocked on the door and I was a bit worried..   My friend has a 20mill mansion now on water front land. But he has been in and out of the courts for many reasons relating to his businesses and his house. He learnt it all from his father. 

 

To answer OP's question, who knows how trump would have turned out. It would have depended on his parents and how they treated him.

Nonsense the folks you are referring to for the most part are retirees that have indeed had productive lives in the sense they’ve earned their retirement at the very least…..and some overcoming the odds.Your deity has used the incredible gifts he got by the birth lottery to attack and try to kill the American experiment….he’s losing to as witnessed by the absolute slaughter during the last election.

Expired misdemeanors you are talking about iirc. The real crime was the scumbaggery involved in jacking up 34 long expired misdemeanors by linking them to another unidentified "crime". Honestly some people would be happier living in Stalin's Russia.

panhandling, living under a bridge begging for mercy

 

There are plenty of AI videos with that scenario.

 

The key is if Trump's penniless Gaelic-speaking mother had never got the money to leave the Hebrides for America, and somehow ended up at parties mixing with the then Yuppies of New York (a series of unlikely events)

 

Until about 1900, the populations of the Hebrides were in terminal decline, following the Clearances. But between 1900 and the 1920s, the population rose to an extent, that a Congested Districts Board was founded to essentially repopulate those abandoned properties. WW1 was catastrophic; Lewis lost 1000 men. More importantly, Viscount Leverhulme (William Lever, made a fortune making soap, his company became Unilever) brought Lewis. He had plans to building a fishing industry, the locals wanted the land to be broken up into crofts, rather than this feudal situation, he was against that, and basically wrecked what economy there was. Many left the islands, mostly for Canada and Detroit in the US. By the 1930s, the Depression, worsened by the tariffs then, caused migration across the Atlantic to dry up, so its quite possible that Mairi Anna NicLeoid would never have made that journey, or after her first return from the US, where she was basically a scrubber, she never went back. Given that, then the most liley places she would have gone for work would have been Aberdeen or Glasgow. As a Prod, she would have avoided the East End, full of Taigs.  As a poor highlander, likely the Gorbals, which by the 1940s, were the worst slums in Europe. Alternative Mary married a welder named Robert Nesbit, known as Clarence, to avoid confusion with his Da', also called Rob.

 

Trump apparently was more influenced by his mother than his father. He looks more like a Scot, with that strawberry flax for hair and that flat face. Where your DNA comes from isn't exactly how you think it works; we inherit DNA from both our parents, but its not 50-50.

 

Alternative Scottish Trump's dad would have been a shipworker, maybe a welder at Govan, working on the ships. Trump would have been in a big family, but many perished due to endemic TB. His Da' would have been a hardman, believed in the belt. At a young age, Trump would have been going to see Rangers play, drinking at the Stag, with its sawdust coated floor. His favourite tipple would have been 80 Shilling, but as a young 'un. he would have been in the park swigging Buckfast with his mates. Scottish Trump (Donald Nesbitt) was too young for National Service.

 

Like many of his generation, he followed dad into work. However, by  the late 60s, the shipyards were in trouble, and young Nesbitt was laid off, but not before he took part in the UCS Work-In, in a vain attempt to save their jobs. During this time, he got the nickname Red Donnie, because of his militancy, where he said he was prepared to fight fight fight for his jobs. He didn't much care for his Catholic colleagues. Thereafter he spent most of the 70s and 80s drifting around various factory jobs, at one point installing the tartan seats in Hillman Imps, Scotland's car. He got himself a council flat though in one of the new blocks, but life was hard.

 

He was good with his hands though, small as they were, so got some jobs in building. By the late 70s he was earning some good money over in Dusseldorf, building flats for the Germans, living in basically a shed, a bit of cash in hand. He always fancied amateur dramatics, and auditioned for a comedy series, Auf Wiedersehn Pet, seemingly based on his life, where he had a audition tape, where he pitched for the character of Wayne, a cheery jack the lad type of character. He lost out, because the producers gave the part to some cockney <deleted>. Nevertheless, he was inspired, and started on the comedy gig circuit, in between building jobs, where he created a character, called Rab, modeled on his dad whom he lionised. A bit of an improvement though over his kid brother, Begsie. He even told Mike Myers how to do a proper accent.

 

The gigs, which included a spot on TV, got him enough money to buy his flat during the Thatcherite revolution, and to get him some buy to lets. By 2000 though, like many Glaswegian men in their mid-50s, his body was knackered. He didn't have much of a pension, but he had salted some money away that the taxman couldn't get their hands on. 2006 and he decided to sell up his lets. He retired to Thailand, and passed away in 2013, during a tummy reduction operation in Phuket. He left behind a 25 year old wife, and 5 kids, some of which are his, but he wasn't sure. A life well lived.

 

Obviously satire.
