Donald Trump was a household name before running for office. He slept with the most beautiful women in the world, flew around on his own personal jetliner, was invited to parties by all the high rollers including Chelsea Clinton's wedding, just a man loved in his social circle.
When Trump announced he'd be running for President as a Republican, everybody turned on him. NBC reported shortly afterwards, he lost a billion dollars of net worth. Even after being elected he took no presidential pay. He donated it all to charities and various causes. He left the White House hated by half the country. He has to have SS agents follow him and his wife around wherever he goes. Nearly two years later, the Communists are still hounding him.
I would call that a man that put the country before himself.
