The story of Frank Abagnale best describes the Real Donald Trump.

[shockey80]

Before his 19th birthday Frank Abagnale successfully pretended to be a substitute teacher, Pan American pilot, doctor, and a prosecutor. While he was doing this he traveled the country, the world, stealing millions of dollars. Does this sound familiar?

Frank Abagnale described himself best; I was an opportunist, whenever I saw an opening I asked myself, Can I get away with it? This describes Trump perfectly. Trump has been pretending his entire life.

Trump pretended to be a self made billionaire who ran a large corporation with thousands of employees, not even close.

Trump pretended to be a great business man, Not quite. Trump would tell the news media he is a great business man as he was filing for bankruptcy.

Trump would pretend to be something else when he applied for loans, he pretended to be richer than he was.

Trump pretended to be great and famous. He would call reporters, pretending to be someone else in order to tell the reporter how great and famous Donald Trump is.

Trump pretended to be a TV show host. All he had to do was say, "Your fired", what a gig.

Then one day Trump made the biggest mistake of his life. He decided to pretend to run for president. He must have seen an opening, probably for money. He asked himself, Can I get away with it?

Trump was as shocked as everybody was when he won the election. I remember him sitting there with a stunned look on his face. He may have been thinking this; Now I have to pretend to be president, Can I get away with it.

Trump has never been and never will be a president. He has been pretending to be president from day one. Trump does not read ,learn prepare for anything. He watches the news to get ideas. He calls his friends and asks them what he should do. He never prepares for meetings at the Whitehouse or meetings over seas. He simply wings it. His staff have held his hand the entire time trying to guide him to do what presidents are supposed to do.

Trump is exactly like Frank Abagnale, An impostor and an opportunist. Some people compare Trump to a mafia leader, nope. Trump took being an impostor, opportunist to a higher level and unfortunately most Americans cannot figure it out.

1. Except that Trump is really, really stupid. nt

[Scarsdale]

6. So very true.

Frank had to be intelligent to do what he did. tRump may pretend to be lots of things, but intelligent is NOT one of them.

[tblue37]

9. Unlike Frank, Trump started with tons of money, so he was able to run his cons with

that enormous buffer against accountability.

[brush]

12. Stupid and incredibly lucky as he did not pull this off by himself.

He has Russian help, Comey's dumb move, and the entirely crooked, vote suppressing repug party, all of which combined to foist the most incompetent individual ever to occupy the WH.

He tops himself daily with his displays of ignorance. Yesterday he claimed our moon was part of Mars. He's just jaw-droppingly stupid and we're stuck with him for now.

2. He used tactics that old Frank never did. Threats, intimidation, violence, bribery etc

[Aristus]

3. Abagnale is highly intelligent and resourceful.

After he was caught and punished, he earned back a fortune in a perfectly legal, and even admirable way: he consults with law enforcement agencies on the ways scam artists succeed in their grifts, explaining the very same techniques he used himself during his grifting days.

Abagnale is one of the good guys now. Something Trump will never be.

4. Not even close.

Frank saw it as a contest, could he pull it off? He wasn’t motivated by pettiness or a need for revenge. It was more the curiosity of wanting to know what his limits were. Twitler isn’t smart enough to be curious about anything and getting dressed appropriately is beyond his limits.

[Scarsdale]

8. Exactly.

tRump looked like a total idiot in his tux for the royal dinner. Pants too long, sleeves too long, jacket too short and too tight. Whoever helped him dress like that, then appear in public must despise him as much as we do. Made him look stupid. He looked like one of the Three Stooges in a skit.

[catbyte]

5. Except Frank Abignale used his talents for good in the end, so unlike the orange asshole.

Abignale went straight after his release from prison, so his character is really not like that thing's at all.

[kooth]

7. Abagnale is now a good guy ...

As several have said here, Frank Abagnale turned out to be a good guy and has helped our country and many others secure their banking and financial systems. This is something that tRump would never do -- mainly because it's all about him ...

[yaesu]

10. trump is a lifetime con artist. nt

[mountain grammy]

11. Frank Abagnale was brilliant and gifted.

Trump would be nothing if he wasn’t born a billionaire.

[shockey80]

13. You are all missing my point.

Yes , there are big differences between Frank and Trump. They are exactly the same when it comes to fooling people, pretending to be something else. The Trump every one see's is not real, just like what Frank did.

Dam!
