Her own father, Trump's older brother, sounds like originally a basically normal person born into a very abnormal family. He had his own ambitions (to be a pilot) but he just got derailed too early on and lost his dream job because of alcoholism brought on by his father's bullying.

Donald got propped up to be the golden boy because he also had his father's sociopathic tendencies and was willing to play the model son, which mostly consisted of being ruthless, arrogant, and concerned about absolutely nothing but money and appearances.
