As a late blooming pubescent teen, it seems Trump got wedgied by some Upper East Side kid and he never got over it.

Then add overbearing parents who undoubtedly called him a "disgrace", maybe even a "loser" a lot and a monster was born. Without money, he would have just been that obnoxious loudmouth at the end of the bar that everyone avoids, especially the women. With money, he is dangerous.

And he could not buy his way into NY society. As desperately as he tried. He was seen as an odious jerk, a real asshole, by everyone who was anyone. That rejection truly drives Trump's insecurity and paranoia.

Trump was classic noveau riche - crude, vulgar, ostentatious, obnoxious. Of course he was rejected, because no amount of money could possibly make him acceptable to anyone with any dignity or integrity. Unfortunately, Trump didn't get it. It wasn't about money or things, no decent person wants to be around him.

When I think of all the characters in books and movies who represented such a person, none were as absurd or as mean as Donald Trump.

They cheer his flaunting of money, education, houses, etc etc and they have nothing and are getting less and less. Their jobs are dying out, their towns are dying out, their friends and family are dying out in a literal epidemic of over prescribed drugs to make guys like *45 rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Somehow they think that they are millionaires themselves, just temporarily a little down on their luck(not sure where I read that, but it is true as true can be).

Beside the usual deranged bluster, one thing just occurred to me. When tRump is wound up and steaming towards home, he sounds just like a pro wrestler setting up the next fight. You know where, about halfway into their spiel, that opponent makes it towards the ring and then they start going at it. Sounds just like one of those guys, except for the courage part.

Any self-respecting, strutting, preening fascist dictator wouldn’t be caught dead without a heavy supply of CNS stimulants.

Betting that this fat, bloviating, amped-up POS is so full of Adderall that he rattles when he walks.
