        No I grew up in NJ. Most people thought he was a blowhard and an asshole around me but then again I grew up in a town filled with bankers and financiers so they likely knew him IRL. He was always a fucking clown.

          Ah. Fair enough. I literally knew nothing about him growing up as a kid in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Other than the fact that he was the “you’re fired” guy.

          Until he ran in 2015 he was just some vague celebrity that I remembered seeing once in awhile. Whenever he was mentioned in conversation it was neutral or making fun of him saying “you’re fired”.
