Trump was 13 when, due to behavioral problems, he was bundled off to Military School

I think it is pretty obvious that his maturity level seized to a full stop, and never started up, again.

I have read that the behavior of people who are incarcerated at a young age, pretty much stops maturing for the duration of their incarceration but resumes when they are released. They are always behind, for their age group, but they do progress. I wonder if Donald didn't, because he didn't have to, in order to make his way through life. He suffers from chronic entitlement, AKA Affluenza.

I really think he is an inadequate person who would probably be selling used cars, somewhere, if he hadn't had a rich father who constantly bailed him out.

My wife and I went into Trump Tower shortly after it was built. It was obvious.

Very good. It starts with both Hillary and Trump as kids.

He was shipped off to military school by his hardass father who taught Donald to be a "killer" and who believe is the genetic superiority "racehorse theory". Trump thrived in the world of hazing, forced fights, and the only outlet was Playboy magazine. These boys thought Hefner was how men were supposed to be.
