*  I remember when this first came up, and Il Douché was crowing about starting out with a "small" loan of a million dollars. When it was pointed out that most Americans consider that a vast sum, he doubled down and said that compared to how much money he has now, it's a tiny, tiny amount.  How out of touch with reality can you be and still show up?
*  Trump is clueless. He has never had to work a minimum wage job in order to try to eat or pay for college and he is an egotistical maniac with the thinnest skin I have ever encountered.
*  I can think of what he could've done with all that money and it ain't pleasant!

‘My father gave me a small loan of $1M': Colbert hammers Trump’s clueless privilege
By Adam Johnson, October 30, 2015

White billionaires born into massive privilege aren’t usually known for their rags-to-riches tales, but Trump is trying to sell one to the American public. Or, at least, to Matt Lauer.

In a recent interview, the Donald told NBC, “My whole life really has been a ‘no’ and I fought through it. It has not been easy for me, it has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.”

This bit of deluded runaway privilege was too good for Stephen Colbert to pass up, so he took time out Wednesday night to mock the GOP ex-frontrunner.

“Clearly, this is an inspiring tale of a young man made good,” Colbert said. “The classic story of riches to richer. Donald was just a humble boy from the boroughs and wanted nothing more than to escape his provincial life and make his way in the big city… Donald dared to venture into a land he didn’t own.”

Donald Trump has long tried to sell a tale of scrappy, self-made man, but it has been exposed over and over again as largely bogus.

Watch the bit below:
