1. An asshole since the day he was born

[onit2day]

11. The man has never done a thing for another person ever

unless he got something out of it. Petty, vindictive and intolerable sums him up completely.

[yallerdawg]

2. I've wondered what I would do if Dotard Trump knocked on my door.

Thank you, Mr. Bassett!

[MineralMan]

6. I'd do what I always do and point at the

"NO SOLICITORS" sign next to the door and say nothing. Then, I'd close the door in his face.

[csziggy]

23. I would tell him to get the fuck off my property

And if he did not immediately move away, I would call the cops.

I've told better people than Dotard to get off my farm. I have no compunction about telling anyone, even person currently pretending to be president.

3. Had to laugh... if he only knew.

[Achilleaze]

4. republican Comrade Casino* is such an a-hole

* republican "family values" role model, and their deceitful and ignoble Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Americans detest a-holes. Republicans obviously worship them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. He's always been the same.

Even when he was a bit more articulate with his arguments, he's always been an asshole.

7. It's almost a pity Mr. Bassett never had to follow through.

Although with someone as dense as Rump, it probably would have had to happen on several different occasions for him to get the message. Just to "reinforce his learning experience," so to speak.

Now, alas, it's much too late for any such "teaching moments" to do any good.

No damned wonder his own parents didn't even want him around and shipped him off to military school.

22. Bassett never punched Cheeto for a reason

He would have been slapped with a huge lawsuit, and I'm sure he realized it.
Cheeto was probably going around with a sign stuck on his back "Go ahead, hit me, I need the money."

I don't think Trump has ever had any friends in his life.
Maybe that's why he wanted to be president, so everyone would "like" him.

8. Irredeemable asshole for life

So he's been a known asshole before I was born. Some people never change.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

9. IBM Selectric Orator font ball? Been a lonnnnnnnnnng time since I've seen it!

Shot me right back to being a secretary in 1984. I'll bet Bassett's secretary enjoyed typing that letter!

[luvtheGWN]

10. Just an FYI, my American pals....

...John Bassett (who passed away several years ago) was a fellow Canadian. He was a media mogul, a Conservative, politically, but a very decent man.

[IronLionZion]

20. Even conservative Canadians tend to be polite decent people

[Beartracks]

21. So NOT a response I would've expected!

LOL

Made my day.

12. This is the greatest letter ever

It is also a reminder that his current behavior isn't due to anything but him being a terrible person.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Wow. So he's always been this way...and he refused to change his ways and be respectful.nt

[ffr]

14. 1984! That's awesome!

[maddiemom]

15. And, obviously, Trump took this right to heart

[canetoad]

16. All caps!

Before it even became an insult.

[George II]

17. "Kindest personal regards".....

....

[Grammy23]

18. Those who know tRump could have written this letter. They know he is an asshole

and a jerk. Been saying it for years, in case anyone missed that. This letter sums it up nicely and reflects how many, many people feel about tRump. For those who think he has changed over the years and declined, I say nah. He was a jerk back then and he still is. Just older and crustier with a longer sh*t list of people he hates and vows revenge.

[RhodeIslandOne]

19. It was a sad day when Bassett became ill and passed

That was the day Trump was able to control the owners and the USFL went right in the toilet.

[muntrv]

24. ESPN's 30 for 30 blames Trump for killing the USFL.
