1. yeah. this one has been in the mix for a while.

too bad it didn't do anything to help (as far as personality/character) ... on the other hand - what exactly do you do with a child that is prone to throwing rocks at a baby?

2. Teach him RIGHT from WRONG, GENTLY!!!

NEVER were me or my brother subjected to physical punishment.

11. I think that's a bit simplistic

particularly in the case of these type of major mental health, character issues.

I will of course defer to those with greater (psychiatric) experience - but I have always understood that there really isn't a lot of 'correction' or training that has much effect on, for instance, a psychopath. About the best we can do - is in trying to persuade that it is 'in their best interests' - to adhere to a certain amount of 'norms'. But - "right and wrong" - basically have no meaning or relevance ...

6. mental health evaluation and treatment

something Trump OBVIOUSLY never received

[stopdiggin]

12. I'm not sure if that is true

and further (see post #11 ) I'm not sure about the amount of efficacy available in that type of intervention (were it ever attempted). Depending on the type of 'disorder' or flaws that were/are inherent ... There really isn't a lot of 'fixing' available for some of these personality disorder/character things. We're not talking about a little ADHD here.

3. There's a huge difference between 8 and 13

An 8-year-old has only been in grammar school for a couple of years. A 13-year-old is pubescent.

For an 8-year-old to have done what Trump did was bad enough. For a 13-year-old to have done it, that would be outright alarming, a confirmation the kid already had some serious pathology that might necessitate close monitoring.

We know Trump didn't go to military school until 13. That means Fred tolerated his son's emerging psychopathy for five years after this incident before sending him away.

4. No. It was b/c Fred (his father) found

TSF had a bedroom drawer full of Jack-knives. Age 14.
Read this in a biography.

5. "Don't be too nice"

"Put'em in the car and maybe don't hold his head down."

"What was I supposed to do, he was doing waitresses 2 and 3 at a time, customer's couldn't get a drink at the tables."



I threw the last one in to make sure you're paying attention.

I say he needs to be diagnosed for CTE, now, don't wait.

7. But can he even

Throw?

8. The dad is horrible for leaving him all that money

He knew how evil and fucked up his son was. And even bailed him out in his failures.

Most responsible people would have left control of the money to someone or some group for things like medical expenses and other needs. But to prevent it from being used in evil ways which has resulted in where we are today.

There are evil shits like Trump that have always been around but usually they end up in prison because most don't have the money to get them out of the trouble they cause.

9. It was in Mary Trump's book.

10. The story in Mary's

Book was he was messing around with knives and his dad feared he'd hurt someone or he had hurt someone. Either story is very plausible. I bet its the knives. That's meaner. That entire family was truly nasty.

13. Trump was doing his duty of protecting our country from invasion by Venezuelan Antifa infants.
