Because if anyone should suffer for being who they are - it's Trump.

(60,010 posts)that he was on live camera, could not scream and yell, had to be polite, and THEN the Pres. of Mexico finally got on the line and talked and talked and talked, Trump had to sit thru the Spanish and then sit thru the translation before he could talk.
Watching that video with no sound is very revealing of his expressions and body language. He was very tense.
Wonder who got the brunt of his fury once the cameras were gone.

(31,464 posts)Rumor has it that he brews nearly twenty cups a day, yet he doesn't even like coffee or tea, and ends up just pouring them out. He uses the pods, it is said, because they choke up Obama's land fills and end up in Obama's precious oceans. Phht.

GRANDES HISTORIAS DIED WITH 43 YEARS
The hidden drama of the Trumps: the alcoholic brother who could not stand Donald
Freddy, the oldest, could not stand the level of family demand. Withdrawn from the Trump businesses, his heirs were excluded from a 20 million inheritance and sued. The future president of the United States took revenge.

DONALD TRUMP U.S ALCOHOL ALCOHOLISM FAMILY
José Gallego Espina @ josegallego81
Every family has its dark side. Episodes that none of its members like to remember, but that mark their lives with fire forever. The Trumps are no exception. If last week we narrated how this lineage came to America from Germany to build a business empire from nothing, by opening hotels and restaurants that functioned as brothels, now we look at the third generation of this clan, and more specifically in the rebel of the four brothers of the elect president of the USA, the eldest, Frederick Junior Trump, the man who renounced everything for his passion for the heavens and who allowed Donald to become the leader he is today.
The story of Freddy, as he called his own, has been hidden for decades, until the political career of Donald Trump put the focus of the media on his private life. And although he had sometimes mentioned his older brother, the winner of the last presidential election had never told in detail the harsh circumstances surrounding the life and death of the one who was called to inherit the family business.
Frederick Junior died a victim of alcoholism. Many are surprised to find out that Donald Trump does not drink or smoke. Not a drop of alcohol. It is striking that the tycoon who has conquered the White House maintains these habits so healthy, considering that he has run casinos, organized female beauty contests and starred successful television reality shows. In short, a trajectory that leads to think about all kinds of vices.
However, what happened to his brother left a deep impression on Donald. In 1981, Freddy died at 43 years of age because of drinking. The millionaire, who shelters these days in his Manhattan tower, granted during the election campaign an interview with the newspaper The New York Times , which had conducted an investigation of his family, discovering some testimonies that pointed to perhaps both Donald and his father Frederick had something to do with this addiction, which more than a disease was a refuge for the older Trump male.
According to the account of several of his friends, Freddy never fit into the family mold. The perfectionism and the demands of his father, added to the ambition of his brother, ended up suffocating him. He took his own path, which in the long run motivated his children to be disinherited from the Trump fortune. But to deepen this story before we must return to the origins of this business empire.
