In reply to the discussion: What I think is really weird about the Twit? [View all]PunkinPi
(4,875 posts)27. Yep...here's an article from 2016
snip (bolding mine for emphasis):
From early childhood, Hurt wrote, Fred used to tell his boys you are a killer
you are a king
you are a killer
you are a king
As a result, he wrote, Donald came to believe that he cannot be one without the other. As his father has pointed out over and over again, most people are weaklings. Only the strong survive. You have to be a killer if you want to be a king.
At first Fred assumed that the king and the heir to his business would be his eldest son and namesake, Fred Jr., known as Freddy. But it became increasingly clear to everyone that Freddy was neither killer nor king. Instead, Blair wrote, he was a sweet lightweight loveable loser. He tried his best, but his frantic scramble to please only seemed to infuriate his father. Mistakes such as ordering new windows for a building when existing ones were still salvageable earned him public tongue-lashings from his father. When Fred did something well, on the other hand, his sister Maryanne has said, his father pointedly said nothing at all.
Donald observed all this, and the message was to never be vulnerable. He was the first Trump boy out there and I subconsciously watched his moves, he said of his brother in a Playboy interview years later. I saw people really taking advantage of Fred, and the lesson I learned was always to keep up my guard 100 percent.

I think the overriding point is: Don't put such such a person in public office

I think it's a perfect storm of a sociopathic brain and negligent parenting.

I completely agree with this. I have said it before, but I think he was born bad.

Clinically criminal is an interesting term, and concept. Sounds very accurate.

The question is: How do we get this sick fuck out of office?
