In reply to the discussion: Pelosi told Milley Trump should have been 'arrested on the spot' for inciting Jan. 6 insurrection. [View all]ShazzieB
(16,379 posts)95. Because his daddy told him so.
That's where his narcissism originally stemmed from. When Fred saw that his oldest son wasn't going to follow in his footsteps, he began grooming his next oldest son to do so. From that time on, little Donnie was the Golden Child who could do no wrong in his father's eyes. He could and did get away with anything and everything, and his 2 sisters and younger brother went along with it, because to do otherwise would have meant defying Fred Almighty.
I'm very clear on that part of the story, thanks to Mary Trumps book. How he managed to continue getting away with so much after Fred was gone, all the way up to becoming president and using the powers of the office in all sorts of nefarious ways -- well, that part escapes me!
