Wow. So much can already be seen in this ad, from way back in 1988:
The frenetic hype.
The failed business launch. The underperformance. (Within a few months, “Trump: The Game” could best be found in dumpsters and thrift stores.)
The self-aggrandizing emphasis on his own name and brand. (Count, if you can, the number of times that Trump is repeated in the ad.)
And — very interesting in view of his recent refusal to promise that he’ll accept the results of the election (unless, of course, he wins) — the ad’s rather bizarre slogan: It’s not whether you win or lose. It’s whether you win!
By the way, there appears to be no actual evidence that any proceeds from “Trump: The Game” were ever donated to charity.
