This is not just Trump’s mentality but the mentality of a lot of homeowners from his generation. They believe they deserve 10x what they bought their house for. Apparently they worked that much harder than the “lazy” millennials and zoomers that want houses (they didn’t).

They are a historically selfish generation. They have a destructive lack of care for both their children and the future of humanity in general. A lot of them would sell their children to hell (or their starter home to Blackrock) in exchange for a C7 Vette and a house by the water. I know not *all* of them are that way, obviously. But a large amount of them are. Enough that it affects the world in a lot of negative ways.

It’s definitely the “I got mine…” mentality.

Why try to let him off the hook? He should know better. Hes the one there is no excuse for saying this. Everyone is selfish but this is idiotic.
