The Art of the Deal

I keep remembering the part in The Art of the Deal where trump reminisces about his childhood.

He never changed.

They were playing with toy blocks when Trump was inspired to create a tall building, which would require some of his brother's blocks. Robert let him borrow them.

"I ended up using all of my blocks, and then all of his, and when I was done, I'd created a beautiful building," Trump writes. "I liked it so much that I glued the whole thing together. And that was the end of Robert's blocks."

Throwing a hissy fit because one wrong word and they are suddenly disloyal. That’s something else that will never change with him.

I actually gave a teacher a black eye. I punched my music teacher because I didn’t think he knew anything about music … Even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a forceful way.

him. I could certainly see that. He is a big of a coward as I’ve ever seen in public life. He probably will manage to stay out of jail, but I hope he becomes the biggest laughing stock in the world. That would probably be harder on him than going to some white collar luxury jail.
