Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" tells a story on occasion about the 2016 election primaries. He had a long-planned event to raise money for his Mike Rowe Works Foundation scholarship fund (which gives funding for trades education so long as the recipient signs a pledge to work hard and not blame others for failure, etc.) and the people running the debates basically stole his venue from him at the last minute. So, he confronted them about it publicly and asked all the candidates (at this point, it was mostly just Hillary, Bernie, and Trump) to donate something to the foundation by way of an apology so that he could auction the items and make up some of the losses. Hillary and Bernie didn't respond. But the next morning, Trump had a courier deliver a signed Trump Tower bathrobe to the foundation's door. He managed to auction it for, I think, $18,000.

For me, that was the moment where I realized how real Trump was and how fake Bernie was. Everybody knows Hillary was a smoldering dumpster fire from the start, so that didn't surprise me. Probably should have realized Bernie was trash before that, but I was a college idiot at the time, so...

Apparently Charlie Sheen wasn't so happy, saying Trump gave him some fake cufflinks. Though, Sheen himself isn't known for appropriate behaviour either with his Aids and other related stuff.
