不论是反对他还是支持他，可以确定的是，99.9%的人都没有真的和川普他本人来往过或长时间的交谈过。大部份的人最多只是在电视上或竟选大会上看到他的一言半语，对于了解他本人到底如何，私底下是甚么样子，工作水平如何，难免会像是雾里看花，不够真实。
以下这些人真的了解川普他本人。这些人或者在他手下作过事，或者是他的朋友老师，对于川普有足够的第一手了解。这些是他们对川普的评语：
William Kelley (Wharton Professor) ：Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had. （宾夕法尼亚大学教授）：川普是我教过最笨的学生 （见注1）
John Bolton (former national security advisor): unfit for office, lacks competence. （前国家安全顾问）：不适合执政，无能 （见注2）
H.R. McMaster (former National Security Adviser): A dope. （前国家安全顾问）： 蠢貨 （见注3）
James Mattis (Secretary of Defense): 5th or 6th grader. （前国防部长）：五，六年级生 （见注4）
Steve Bannon (former Chief Strategist): Like an 11-year-old child. （前国师）：像是个11岁的孩童 （见注5）
Gary Cohn (former National Economic Council Director): Dumb as sxxx， professional liar. （前国家经济委员会主任）：蠢的如屎 职业性的骗子 （见注6，注7）
Tom Barrack Jr. (billionaire and personal friend): Stupid. （亿万富翁，民间友人）：笨 （见注8）
Rex Tillerson (former Secretary of State): Fxxxing moron. （前国务卿）：他X的笨蛋 （见注9）
Reince Priebus (former Chief of Staff): Idiot. （前白宫幕僚长）：白吃 （见注10）
Rupert Murdoch (Billionaire): Fxxxing idiot. （亿万富翁，保守媒体大亨）：他X的白吃 （见注11）
John Kelly (former Chief of Staff): The most flawed person I have ever met in my life. （前白宫幕僚长）：我一生中认识的缺点最多的人 （见注12）
Ann Coulter (right wing pundit): moron, blithering idiot, actual retard.... （右翼人士，保守派作家）：笨蛋，十足的白吃，实实在在的弱智...等等等等 （见注13）
Mary Trump (niece)： Resign. （侄女）：他应该辞职 （见注14）
现实也相当符合以上这些人的评价。川普手下的公司企业大多经营不佳。媒体从他的税单中发现，川普整个集团的经营，在 2000 -2018 年实际收入为 负1.74 亿美元。从 2000 年开始计算，川普的所有高尔夫场地总计的亏损是 3.16 亿美元。他的的生意和房产基本上都在亏损。他本人还欠了银行＄４亿多美金，在几年内到期。（见注15）
他经手过的众多产品或公司大多失败 －
川普航空－倒闭，川普牛排－倒闭，川普贷款－倒闭，川普杂志－倒闭，川普大学－倒闭（还赔了$25个million）。Trump Taj Mahal －破产，Trump’s Castle －破产，Trump Plaza Casinos －破产，Trump Plaza Hotel －破产，Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts －破产， Trump Entertainment Resorts －破产。（见注16）
他打的贸易战，造成了美国本身损失。纽约美联储的估计是贸易战（到2020年）至少造成美国公司损失$1.7 trillion (不是 billion)。（见注17）
美国的国债从他2017年上台至今，３年多上涨了约$7个 trillion，增速为历史最高。（见注18）
近八百位经济学家（包括今年的诺贝尔奖得主）前几天签了联名信，说川普的经济政策根本不通，要求他下台。（见注19）
在他领导下，新冠病毒 的处理更是糟糕。美国的新冠感染人数是８５０万，死亡人数是２２万，远远超过任何西方已开发国家。甚至还比不上伊拉克或南非（见注20）。出现这种情况，56%的美国人认为是美国政府处理不善造成的。（见注21）
这些成绩，和认识他的人对他的评价倒是相当的符合。

Ann Coulter went on an early Sunday morning Twitter tear, calling President Donald Trump “the most disloyal actual retard that has ever set foot in the Oval Office.” https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ann-coulter-turns-disloyal-actual-172315065.html?ncid=facebook_yahoonewsf_akfmevaatca&fbclid=IwAR30Zhuy4KBmkdzMfJou8aRi5T8GFR-5lQoMSN1RZEby7b5BAiZiPHUW5Hk
