Before the Run: Rediscovering the Real Trump America Loved

Before Trump threw his hat into the political arena, the landscape of my admiration for him was vastly different. It's like looking back at a time when the air was cleaner, the skies were bluer, and Donald Trump was just a larger-than-life figure in the world of business and entertainment.

Back then, he wasn't the polarizing politician; he was the quintessential New York tycoon, the star of "The Apprentice," where he taught us about the art of the deal and the importance of decisiveness. Every boardroom scene ended with that iconic, "You're fired!" which, let's be honest, was more thrilling than any reality TV drama. It wasn't just a show; it was a masterclass in business, wrapped in the charisma of a man who seemed to have Midas' touch.

We admired Trump not just for his wealth but also for his audacity. When he turned Atlantic City into a playground for high rollers with his casinos, or when he transformed the Manhattan skyline with towering skyscrapers like Trump Tower, it felt like America was on the rise. His projects were bold, his decisions swift, and his presence was commanding.

The media? They couldn't get enough of him. Every move, every deal, and every new project was front-page news, but it was all in good light. Trump was the American dream personified, a self-made billionaire who wasn't afraid to tell it like it is. He was in the tabloids, sure, but he was also in our living rooms, teaching us, entertaining us, and, in a way, uniting us in our awe of his success.

And then, he decided to run. Suddenly, the man we knew and loved was put under a microscope, his every word scrutinized, his intentions questioned. The narrative shifted. The media that once praised his business acumen began crafting a different story, one of controversy and division. But for those of us who knew Trump before the run, we remember the America that loved him for his achievements, his personality, and yes, his unabashed style. We yearn for those simpler times when Trump was just a symbol of American success, not a battleground for political wars.
