Any experts out there what was Trump's childhood like to make him so evil

[Tribetime]

Was he ever scolded or disciplined for doing anything wrong or was it just give him praise.....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. His father was an asshole, but Little Donnie was such an awful child

that he was discovered throwing rocks at a neighbor's baby in a playpen, and was so unmanageable that he was sent away to military school at about age 13. I think he was just a bad seed.

[Faux pas]

2. I

believe he was born that way.

[secondwind]

3. I'm no expert, but I lived in NYC for decades, and the only thing I remember Trump doing that was

NICE, was he donated the ice skating rink in Central Park, so kids could ice skate.

[brush]

4. His parents sent the entitled but dumb fuck to military school to get rid of him.

They didn't want to deal with him either—imagine the Dunning-Kruger effect marching around in a military uniform.

[RockRaven]

5. His father was an asshole, but The Dotard has always been this way.

At least, that is what everybody says.

[dalton99a]

6. He has been evil since the day he was conceived.

There is not one iota of humanity in him

[smirkymonkey]

20. I honestly believe he was also born evil.

I really do. His parents didn't help things at all, but he was a bad seed from the beginning.

[Doodley]

7. In the Art of the Deal, he says he punched a teacher when he was a young child.

[fierywoman]

21. Wasn't it a music teacher? (No wonder there are no concerts anymore at the White House.)

[no_hypocrisy]

8. I've read several bios and here's my takeaway:

His father alternately ignored him and bullied him. His mother ignored him and let the maids handle him.

Around Kindergarten, he and his younger brother Robert were playing with blocks. Trump liked what he was building and asked Robert for more and more of his blocks. Trump liked his building so much that he got some glue and made it permanent, this denying his brother any blocks for the foreseeable future.

When he was under 8, he admitted that he punched his teacher in the abdomen simply b/c Trump didn't think he knew anything about music.

He was in competition with his older brother, Fred Sr., and desired to be the one who took over the business empire.

When he was 14, he rode subways and buses to Times Square, where he bought jackknives. He had such a collection in his proverbial underwear drawer, that when his father discovered them, he shipped Trump to the NY Military Academy.

While at the Military Academy, Trump learned the Art of Hazing and Persecution.

[Girard442]

9. Sounds like a perfect shitstorm of nature and nurture.

[GP6971]

17. I have strong ties to NYMA.

And you're absolutely correct...I'm sure the academy was glad to get rid of him when he graduated.

[Ilsa]

10. I suspect there were no family vacations.

No trips to see the Grand Canyon or Great Smoky Mountains, etc. I bet trump has never been to a state or national park unless he was performing official duties. And I hope he stays away. I don't want him trying to figure out how to build a trump monstrosity next to the Grand Canyon, which he probably thinks of as a large ditch.

[cwydro]

11. His older brother died of alcoholism, so who knows what went on in that home.

I think he has other living siblings, but we never hear of them. Not surprised, actually.

[elleng]

15. We have heard of them/her:

Trump's sister, a federal appeals judge, resigns amid ethics inquiry.

12. 'A single gene has been linked with being a psychopath'

A single gene has been linked with being a psychopath -- and it's very controversial

One gene in particular is linked with an increased risk of violent or aggressive behaviour, studies have found. Known as MAOA (monoamine oxidase A), this “warrior gene” controls the production of a protein that breaks down brain-signalling chemicals like dopamine, noradrenalin, and serotonin, which all influence mood.

But the idea of a “psychopath” gene remains controversial. A gene for psychopathy?

People with a variant of the gene, called MAOA-L, produce less of the protein that breaks down these signalling chemicals, which in turn causes them to build up. An excess of these chemicals, scientists believe, leads to impulsive behaviour (such as as hypersexuality), sleep disorders, mood swings, and violent tendencies.

James Fallon, a neuroscientist at the UC Irvine School of Medicine, was studying the brains of murderers and other violent criminals who are thought to be psychopaths, when he accidentally found out he might be one.

Not only did his brain scans look suspiciously like those of the murderers, he later found out that he also possesses the MAOA-L gene that’s been linked to aggression and antisocial behaviour.

A complete lack of empathy does not determine a malicious, sadistic, or criminal personality. Psychopaths still have a choice. Choosing to (mainly) abide by social norms is by and large a less complicated path to success.

13. He was born with a lil mushroom and it just never got any bigger.

His inadequacy became shame, resentment and ultimately hate for the world. That's all anyone needs to know about Donald John Trump.

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Entitlement. They must strip the empathy genes out before the age of eight.

[edhopper]

16. he's

a bad seed.

[marlakay]

18. I read a story that when Trump was young 2

His next brother was born and mom had to give all her attention to him because he was sickly and she pushed him away no love then sent him to military school young.

I personally think being raised with zero love is what created this selfish self absorbed monster.

[GulfCoast66]

19. Being a Freethinker I don't believe in the normal concept of evil.

As in some magic good vs evil thing. Everything can be explained with science even if we don’t presently understand much, all things considered.

But most people are not born good or bad. The environment dictates that. But there is no doubt some people are born with a genetic quirk that makes them prone to psychotic behavior. Most never go all the way there and I’m sure we have all known some. But a person born that way put into a toxic childhood can develop into a monster. Most don’t inherit 500 million so just go to prison for run of the mill psychotic shit. Like killing pets or girlfriends.

[safeinOhio]

22. Nature vs Nurture

A little of both can lead to the perfect storm.

I went to a military school in 60s and recall cadets that remind me of him. Well to do parents that abandon the kid and they can turn into monsters.

[GulfCoast66]

26. Totally agree. But remember. Most don't become monster.

Like you said. It takes the perfect storm.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

31. Psychopathic

Is different than psychotic.

Psychosis is detachment from reality. I have been psychotic and it's like your brain betrayed you and reality becomes distorted and scary.

Being without empathy is narcissistic or psychopathic.

I hate when people lump people who have mental illness and trauma with psychopathy and narcissism.

Schizophrenia,manic depressive,and anxiety and trauma and disorders like that are totally different they not remove empathy.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

23. Here's Dr. McWhorter relaying incident where trump dangled a boy out an open window..

..from interview with Brian Williams on linguistics re: trump's inability to orate; lack of developmental progress.

I honestly was shocked, had never heard of this incident--what else don't we know about this malevolent fucking monster?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

24. I went through hell

As a kid, I never lost my empathy I am not narcissitic.

I think pigs like trump are born without souls like the rest of the monsters in human suits the dark triad personalities.

Saying and abused child becomes an abuser is something referred to as the vampire myth.

If abuse caused abusers the country would be over run with dark triad wastes of skin.

I have no empathy left for narcissists sociopaths and authoritarians.
I prefer to reserve my empathy to those who are not dark triad monsters.

[lunatica]

27. I come from a highly dysfunctional family

I can clearly remember when I was eight years old I made a conscious decision NEVER to be like my parents. I swore I would never do or say things that would destroy people the way my parents did. Many decades later I realized I was one of those people who stop the cycle of destructive abuse that runs in families.

I think people can choose consciously to not be monsters. And they can choose to be kind.

Evil people choose to be evil. It isn’t even a natural way to be. It takes forethought and practice and a will to follow that path. And I think people like Trump and McConnell choose it because they feel inadequate in some way and they prefer to get even with the world. They actually seek power so they can indulge their anger and resentment and feelings of inadequacy. It’s all done very consciously.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

32. I remember doing exactly as you did

Never wanted to be like my parents.

[Dem2theMax]

25. He had to be born that way.

My father had an absolutely horrendous childhood. He had every excuse in the book to become a horrible human being. But my dad was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to know.

Trump Was Born This Way.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. Little is known about the childhood of poisonous snakes.

n/t..............

[JI7]

29. The problem with Trump is he is allowed to repeatedly get away with the shit he does

He isn't a victim of some horrible thing that happened to him.

He is a spoiled trashy worthless piece of shit.

There are other shitty people also but most of them will end up in prison or somewhere else where they do not end up having much money and power over others .

[CousinIT]

30. Psychopathy is hereditary. THEN there was his upbringing.

He was born evil and made moreso by his equally psychopath father.

[womanofthehills]

33. Agree - little psychopaths at 2 yrs old are already torturing animals and their siblings

A good book is “The Psychopath Next Door “ by Martha Stout. Yrs ago I worked in a children’s hospital and a little 4 yr old boy patient went into a severely handicapped little girl ‘s hospital room and beat her up. We called in a psychologist to deal with the boy and the kid charmed the psychologist. It was so creepy.

[Marrah_Goodman]

34. He suffers from affluenza
