Trump
Poisonous Potemkin Parasite President
What is Potemkin, precious ?
Potemkin Villages
Grigory Potyomkin was a dashing 18th century Russian nobleman who intrigued in courts, smote his enemies upon the steppes and allegedly wooed Catherine the Great. It was while he was courting his nation's comely Tsarina — at least according to legend — that his name came to forever stand for something insubstantial.
For Catherine's 1783 tour of new Russian possessions in the Crimea, Potyomkin endeavored to show her the best face of the empire. As the story goes, pasteboard facades of pretty towns were set up at a distance on riverbanks. At stops, she'd be greeted by regiments of Amazonian snipers or fields set ablaze by burning braziers and exploding rockets spelling her initials; whole populations of serfs were moved around and dressed up in fanciful garb to flaunt a prosperity that didn't exist (later precipitating famine in the region).
Recent historical work has proved the tale in part apocryphal, but the legend stuck. A "Potemkin village" signifies any deceptive or false construct, conjured often by cruel regimes, to deceive both those within the land and those peering in from outside.
Ah!
Pretending.
This story has circulated through news sites...
Trump crashed a ribbon-cutting ceremony in 1996 for a new nursery school, funded by the charity, The Association to Benefit Children (with AIDS).
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) and former mayor David Dinkins (D) and TV stars Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford, were major donors. They sat up front. There was a seat saved for Steven Fisher, so that he could sit with them. Steve Fisher is developer who had given generously to build the nursery.
Trump and his entourage barged in. Trump sat in Steve Fisher's chair.
Trump did not give money to the charity. Trump did not help in any way.

Trump got his photo op. He created the false impression that he was a generous donor, because he was photographed with the real donors at the ceremony.
He had stolen Steve Fisher's chair. He grabbed Steve Fisher's place of honor.
Steve Fisher was left to sit in the audience.
He should have been singing and dancing on the stage with the other donors.
Trump used children with AIDS.
"Trump left without offering an explanation. Or a donation."
Trump had used children, before.
In 1997, for instance, he was “principal for a day” at a public school in an impoverished area of the Bronx. The chess team was holding a bake sale, Hot & Crusty danishes and croissants. They were $5,000 short of what they needed to travel to a tournament.
Trump had brought something to wow them.
“He handed them a fake million-dollar bill,” said David MacEnulty, a teacher and the chess team’s coach.
The team’s parent volunteers were thrilled.
Then disappointment.
Trump then gave them $200 in real money and drove away in a limousine.
Why just $200?
“I have no idea,” MacEnulty said. “He was about the most clueless person I’ve ever seen in that regard.”
The happy ending, he said, was that a woman read about Trump’s gift in the New York Times, called the school and donated the $5,000. “I am ashamed to be the same species as this man,” MacEnulty recalled her saying.
At a nursery school a year earlier, Trump had crashed the ribbon-cutting for the event aimed at helping children with AIDS.

Callous, calculating, selfish. Disrespectful, amoral,cold.
Trump the parasite.
Feed off someone else's publicity, if you cannot get your own, is his method.
Ask all the women he used.
( my spell check and I disagree on words used.)
They rejected him, and he got publicity by degrading them.
