native country by illegally leaving rather than fulfilling his duty to serve in their military. He was a coward and a scoundrel. He changed the family name from Drumph to trump. I don't remember all of the details know about him, but he was NO PRIZE and contributed to the twisting of his son, Fred. Frederick was the name he gave him to Americanize him. The father was born Freidrich Drumph but changing it made it impossible for Germany to locate him.

He was messed up enough, but his son, trump's father Frederick, was a sociopath who didn't need much encouragement to become the monster he was. He damaged ALL of his children, but donald the most because he was already defective and the stage was set in his earliest years to be molded into what his father wanted from him.

The only time Fred, Sr recognized or praised donald was when he did something underhanded to beat someone else. He encouraged it and contributed to Donald's emotional destruction. He knew it, but didn’t care because it supposedly reflected on him and made him even more "bad@ss" in business. So he invested heavily in donald. But donald WASN'T who his father wanted him to be in reality. He was weak. Nothing but a scared bully who pounded those weaker than him to win. When facing someone who wasnt weak, he'd crumble because he had nothing behind his bravado. So he'd lie outrageously to change the narrative, somehow thinking that others HAD to buy into his lies due to his sheer force and demands. He never learned to compromise. Never learned to share. Everything in his life was a zero sum game, including every relationship he ever had. One sided where only HE was entitled to glory and to win. Everyone else HAD to lose.

Well, the real world doesn't work that way and even with the power of the presidency, he is face to face with that reality. He has NO CLUE what to do now.
