Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “Trump Trips Up” (~May 1991?)

I was going through some old papers in a box under the stairs recently and came across a folder of articles I’d clipped and saved, long before most articles from popular magazines were available online from databases or from the magazine’s own web site like they are today.

Had to chuckle for a couple reasons:

* first, that in 1991, there was something in an article about Donald Trump “tripping up” that caught my attention so much, I decided to save it.  (I was looking for something else so snapped this picture but didn’t bother to re-read the article…hmm, I should do that.)

* also funny that this desire to archive and preserve articles (even creating my own very basic index) was so strong in me that it was perhaps no surprise I would end up becoming a librarian.

* …and of course, it goes without saying, I was a uniquely nerdy kid as I suspect this was probably not typical behaviour among my peer group, even among the other nerds! I guess I could reach out to ask how they catalogued their D&D manuals to be sure though! 😉
