Writing for Mother Jones, David Corn provides copious evidence to document Donald Trump’s vicious approach to business and life :
‘In speeches and public talks, Trump has repeatedly expressed his fondness for retribution. In 2011, he addressed the National Achievers Congress in Sydney, Australia, to explain how he had achieved his success. He noted there were a couple of lessons not taught in business school that successful people must know. At the top of the list was this piece of advice: "Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe it." ‘
Below is the video source for that quote.
I urge you to read and promote Corn’s story, because it’s got multiple videos showing Donald Trump saying the same nasty thing over and over again. As we’ve well learned, live media — especially video — makes an impact.
I seem to recall a code of honor among classic American gangsters that required proportional revenge.
Maybe it’s a myth. In any case, it’s worth noting that Donald Trump’s revenge ethic also dramatically surpasses the brutal Old Testament standard of an “eye for an eye”.
It’s chilling to consider the prospect of this unstable man with control over America’s vast nuclear weapons stockpile. I’m afraid we’d wind up worse than blind.
