I hear ya. If you can't be yourself, you might as well hang it up.
This girl from the 'hood told me I have "zero filter". I tell it like it is. Trump is the same way, and I like that!
It's not always advantageous to be that way, but that's how I am wired.
Tact? Oh! I am short on that.
And Trump bores easy, and he is a work-a-holic....getting turned down by his class sucked but it also drove him in a "Fuck you, a will be awesome without you and without your help" way and he doubled down on making hard smart work pay off. It also allowed him to see and understand what was going on in the country, that a lot of people understood as he did that the Elites sucked and were looking for a leader. That never would have happened had he been accepted into his class and remained in the bubble along with the rest, so I doubt very much that Trump at this point regrets that he was shunned. He is with Frank Sinatra "I did it my way".
