‘Donald Trump’s Real Estate Tycoon’ Is a Warning from History

VICE: Donald Trump is a human foghorn forever screaming laughable nonsense and legitimately hateful rhetoric into the spheres of both social media and mainstream news networks. He is a walking, talking, embarrassingly influential reminder than human brains can exist in a slurry state, sloshing around skulls with few coherent thoughts but a lot of offensive stink. He'd be funny if he weren't so utterly terrifying.

I appreciate that you don't come to VICE's video game pages to read about politics – not usually, anyway. But bear with me here, just for a couple of minutes, because in 2002 gaming witnessed Trump's unlikely arrival into the medium – and how that title played is very evocative of the place we find ourselves in today, watching him march to Republican leadership.
