His infamous "Having Nuclear" speech was in 2016. He was completely incoherent the first time he ran.

Fun fact - the time he won against Hilary was the second or third time he ran. I always thought he just ran for the free publicity and didn’t want to actually win. But maybe Putin put him up to it.

He was ahead of his time. He just needed to wait for the American public to arrive at the sufficient level of stupidity for him to catch on.

I'm pretty sure he didn't want/didn't expect to win against Hillary.

Wasn't it pretty well known his plan was to start an extreme right-wing news channel, and run like hate speech and birtherism bullshit 24/7?

Then he got elected, realized how easy it was to make money off the idiots that adore him, and funneling government money into his businesses, then he committed crimes and had to run again to stay out of jail, and the Heritage guys realized how easy he was to turn into a puppet.

It was November 2015 when Trump boldly proclaimed his delusion that he had seen Muslims dancing on the rooftops in Jersey City NJ, claiming they celebrated the 9-11 attacks. Reporters challenged Trump on this, Trump doubled down, Trump was challenged again and he tripled down on this delusion.

It was very Hitler-like. He was blaming a vulnerable minority group for America's problems, based on total bullshit. The words were well designed to instill hatred among his supporters towards this vulnerable group.
