    His father was actually brilliant at business and amassed the fortune that allowed Trump to flourish as a brand. Donald has a history of bankrupting everything he touches. Donald is the opposite of his father, he is literally the anti-Christ.

      Yeah brilliant at sucking wealth from the lower classes, such a great businessman, if great businessman means just having no scruples or morals and conning people for personal gain. I could get rich robbing banks, which wouldn’t make me a great businessman, nor a great man.

      Brilliant or more of a classic mobster, heir of a brothel owner? That shaped Donaldo into the ways of strongarming anyone by shady practices & getting away with it?

        It does take a certain level of intelligence to thrive in that type of environment and survive. I’m pretty sure Donald only survived because he wasn’t worth the bullet and just kept not imploding somehow.

          It is very telling how he is constantly deflecting and blaming others and never admitting guilt- it tells us everything we need to know about his family life and how his parents treated him. He needs perpetual praise and love, it is never enough, which is because he never got any. He evades and lies all the time because he was always blamed and punished for everything and never being good enough. Like parents, like son.

          It’s also why he is so petulant and childish. To grow as humans we need to develop our capacity for taking responsibility and admit our mistakes and shortcomings. He would never do that because he was already mercilessly stomped into the ground by his family, so would do everything he could to avoid the blame, even when he was at fault.

          I have seen this before.
