It gets a little off into the weeds, but I'll take a Franz von Papen reference any day because it makes me go look it up and learn something new.

A Trump Story
A small business owner sold Donald Trump pianos for his Atlantic City casino.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 19, 2016
Trump stiffed him for the payment.https://t.co/9LMPenOZue
The anecdote is a powerful illustration for your narrative, although it can be a very misleading thing in direct debate (see Logical Fallacy - Anecdote). But when the stories are common to the point of being legion, there's more than some probability that we've got a real problem. And these stories are so common, even I know a guy who did some sub-contracting on The Taj Mahal, and got fucked over by Donald Trump.
Trump is the perfect example of a business ethic that says "I get to promise you whatever it takes to make the deal, but when it comes to paying the invoices that I contracted for, I intend to do only what my lawyers can't keep the law from forcing me to do at gunpoint."
When the guys at the top have their spats, and it gets expensive, and they need money to settle - guess who gets squeezed?
I worked with guys like Trump my whole career. I watched two of the best companies ever get swamped by the shit that follows these malignant slugs like plague follows rats.
This Trump guy is weak and cheap - he has no soul and no honor.
It Starts With Entitlement
That was one very short hop away from Trump declaring himself a God-Annointed Sovereign.
Eugenics, anyone?

It really is Garbage In, Garbage Out. If Repubs want a better GOP, they're gonna need a whole buncha better voters.

Michelle Obama on birther claims: Pres. Obama showed dignity “by going high when they go low” https://t.co/vhFCCpkHBa— CNN (@CNN) September 28, 2016
"When they go low, we go high." And ya know - the Obama's are just better people than most. Cuz me (and, I think, Luther) would most likely interpret that like this: "you go at my knees and I'm coming back for your fucking head".
Which is kinda how it works out - the way FLOTUS does it anyway. Glad I'm on her side.

Geez, These Kids
TPM:
First time for everything, I guess. But indeed, Eric , how proud you must be - as are we all, of course.
Eric Trump on Wednesday joined Donald Trump's surrogates in applauding the Republican nominee for not bringing up Bill Clinton's sex scandals during the Monday debate, even saying that the moment is "something I’ll always remember.""Gee - I'll always remember that time on national primetime TV, seen by 70 million Americans plus maybe twice that many around the world - I'll remember my dad deciding not to be a giant gold-plated monument to Total Douchenozzlery" .
First time for everything, I guess. But indeed, Eric , how proud you must be - as are we all, of course.
And if you open that window just a bit, you can hear me rolling my eyes so hard I can see what's left of my brain after having to acknowledge that even people like Donald Trump are allowed to breed.
