Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Trump would gladly burn his own mother alive to benefit himself and look like a "winner". Fucking loser, dude is a fucking loser. He has a loser syndrome. He must've gone through a lot of shit as a child.
By a lot of shit you mean a hoard of domestic employees that he definitely thought of as his slaves then yeah he went through a lot. He's never been meaningfully told, "no you can't have your way" by anyone
I'm thinking he was abused as a child or something. Dude is not normal.
I thought with Trump his Dad schooled him to behave the way he did, always pitting the sons against each other, never accept a loss etc. It'd be easier to pity him under that view if he wasn't trying to wreck the world.
Oh and him not realizing this even being an old man at this point. At some point people need to learn some self reflection but when you have access to as much money as Trump (not as much as he claims) there's not much reason to.
Being served all the time is a form of child abuse in my books.
Spoiled kids are abused kids who often become abusers.
Spoiled means less likely to be a healthy adult.
Sounds about right.
The best description I heard was that he was a man born with the greatest privilege of all - to have never once been disturbed by the stirring of a conscience.
I read Mary Trump’s book, and yeah Fred Christ did a number on every one of the kids, and the wife. So definitely damaged, but not that far away from a lot of other people.
I think you have to add that, 70 years, cocaine and adderall, and dementia to get the grotesque Antichrist who’s taken over the GQP.
It’s just so sad to watch the corporate news pantomime all these stories like he’s even remotely ‘normal’.
