On the subject of nature vs nurture, I'm on the side of nurture... and it explains Trump

A man who grew up with power and money, but despite that power and money, he was always seen as a joke by other powerful people with money, not as one with them, not a part of the club.

Now he has legal power and he is using it to deny being "part of the club" to anyone he can. He can get his revenge fantasies of striking back, of denying power and privilege to others.

He calls himself a nationalist, but really I'd call him a "personalist", it's all about him, and he has 63 million enablers.

Many of the boys there were sent away to just get them away from the parents..That alone might cause some issues. I remember some boys from those days that might be just like him now.
