I am looking at the Nytimes report of his businesses and the losses ... Something struck me [View all]

I am thinking aloud here.

Donald Trump has always wanted to belong to the rarified Manhattan elites and has desperately tried all his life to be one of them.

He tried building what he thinks are 'classy' properties that they would love.

But they don't want him ... They see his brand as tacky and crass. And consequently Donald Trump's golf resorts etc is hemorrhaging money ....

Donald Trump is probably very aware of this and it eats away at him....The rise of Obama and how he was embraced by the people he has tried to impress all his life - just scrambled his brain. It is that visceral rage that he channels and that a lot of Magats identify with.

Am I wrong?
