Mr.Nylock:
I’m going to go out on a limb and say achieving success and and being able to get what he wants have contributed the largest portion of why he is how he is. The Donald Trump I heard about 30 something years ago seems to have pretty much the same personality as the President Trump I see today. For forty years he he gotten what he wants far more and to a much greater degree than most people. There is little he has not been able to achieve - supermodel wives, fame, respect, a loyal and apparently loving family, loyal friends, ivy league education, and finally Leader of the Free World. The world has truly been his oyster. Probably half the world never gets any of these things their entire life, living dying struggling in pathetic obscurity.
This may sound like an endorsement for Trump, but it is not. It’s just a statement of fact. I think a world where his behavior isn’t rewarded by success would be preferable - but that’s not the world we live in.
It’s been said by people close to him that his campaign added to the dynamic you describe.
Trump exhibited the same kind of infantile jerkishness during the campaign that he’s exhibiting now. Many people asserted that this would doom his campaign. But it didn’t. This reinforced his mindset that “the real Donald Trump” was what the people want, and that those who tell him not to do what comes naturally to him are the ones who don’t know what they’re talking about.

Trump doesn’t need your help.
Just as rape is a most serious crime, so is an accusation of rape most serious. And a false accusation is just as serious as a true one.
AFAIAA Trump has never been convicted of rape. The woman who accused him of raping her dropped her lawsuit.
By inventing these lies, Trump’s idiotic opponents invalidate all the good work that his intelligent opponents do.

Dropping a lawsuit against the most powerful man in the country isn’t exactly an admission of lying.
You’re speaking to me.
I told you not to speak to me.

Would you prefer ne’er-do-well? Rapscallion? Masher?
Then we’re back to self-admitted rapist, tax dodger, and empathy-free psychopath.

This all was going on WAY before the campaign. Ask those of us from the New York New Jersey area. He was always filth.
Superdude:
Kanye should walk into Trump’s hospital room, lean forward and whisper in Trump’s ear:
“Yo, I’m really happy for you and I’m’na let you finish, but William Randolph Hearst had one of the best deaths of all time”
This is my favorite contribution to this thread.
People I know who went to Penn treated his son like royalty - I found it a little sickening at the time. Nearly 20 years ago.
Funny how he doesn’t give a shit about proof when the target is a Democrat.
Who needs proof when you just throw your opponents in jail without a trial?
Ooh, trivia!

Nor yours, yet here we are again.

Long answer: those from the first group (in which if I may give myself a medal I’ll include my paternal family) were raised knowing ourselves lucky…<snip>
Those in the second group, the Spanish sentence is le deben y no le pagan … he goes through life as if everybody is indebted to him and late in the payments. <snip>
This.
My maternal grandmother’s family was well-to-do and educated, and were brought up quite plainly, with a large dose of, well, noblesse oblige . They believed, as you mentioned, Nava , that they had a duty to pay back the good fortune they had by helping others.
That duty to help others is missing. Trump either doesn’t know, or he doesn’t care.
True, but so what? Are you hoping a Trump supporter will suddenly develop integrity or the ability to reason? You have a better chance of being whisked away by giant alien hotties for snoo-snoo.
I always assumed that’s why he was a favorite target of *Spy *magazine.
Therapist. Please post proof that Trump needs a therapist. Of which I believe ample proof has been supplied.
I’m sure it was just a typo on The Tooth ’s part.
