He’s clearly not a Mensa candidate Of course, but the man has lived a opulent life style all of his life, and not honestly or ethnically. He has friends, millions of supporters and a family that sticks by him. He constantly manipulates situations, like wakes up and starts in.


I was raised by a man I think was much like Trump, so my opinion could be projection or experience. I am the only fully functioning sibling, as function lost as we all get older. My brother has OCD and a personality disorder, my sister is a drug addict and crazy. She was a fully functioning adult until her late 40’s. My Dad wasn’t stupid, but he was emotionally limited and amoral in certain areas.

I ran away from home as soon as I could. Long story.

After my Dads death— few mourned him- my Mom is happiest by herself, peace and quiet in what was once constant drama and abuse.
