This morning I'm watching this fascinating author being interviewed by Alex Witt on MSNBC and he's elucidating the role that Der Fuhrer had in destroying the USFL - essentially everything this asshole touches turns to shit. After he goes through about ten things that Orange-u-Tang did to undermine the league, Alex Witt asks him, "Can you think of anything he did right?" or words to that effect.
The gentleman parried the question well...but WTF kind of question was that from her? And I don't want to hear that it's a journalistic question: the proper question would have been, "Was there any decision made by Mr. Trump which had a positive impact on the League in your opinion?". Her snide question was dismissive as if to say, "Yeah well you obviously hate him and are totally negative and inflammatory and you can't even consider the other side." At least that's how I read it. And yes, yes, you can make a case that she's amplifying what he was saying but I don't think so from her tone and sneer.
I'm no longer giving anyone the benefit of any doubt: you are either pro-democracy or a Nazi-fascist. It's the "game" they play, so I shall play it as well.

My 2cents.
Trump did sign two out of three Heisman winners (Herschel and Flutie) but he was in a fool's game to start with. His involvement with casinos meant he was NEVER going to be allowed into an NFL franchise either because gambling was the #1 verboten thing for Commissioner Rozelle and because the owners club didn't want someone like Trump into their club.
