Lives surrounded by people who just say, "Yes, Mr. Trump."

He may be conscious of having to sound knowledgeable these days, but engaging that many brain cells may be throwing him off his game a bit. He's not accustomed to having to work to please people, or to having to work at all.

Trump, known as much for his reality shows The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice as he is for his business acumen, is a teetotaler.

“I don’t drink, and it’s very easy for me not to drink,” Trump told Forbes when they chatted in the Forbes Townhouse. “I tell people, ‘What are you drinking for?’ And they don’t even understand what I’m saying.”

I'm talking about fatty foods and he was a known party boy. Note he did not say a word in the debate about weed.

16. He doesn't drink as he disdains how his brother, Fred Jr., was an alcoholic

and drank himself to death. Trump thought his brother was weak. And most likely a "loser".
