Young Donald Trump

[rightwinger]

The President does not seem to have changed much since he was a child

Confident. Incorrigible. Bully: Little Donny was a lot like candidate Donald Trump

In elementary school, Donny impressed classmates with his athleticism, shenanigans and refusal to acknowledge mistakes, even one so trivial as misidentifying a popular professional wrestler. No matter his pals’ ridicule, one recalled, he doubled down, insisting wrestler Antonino Rocca’s name was “Rocky Antonino.”

“He had a reputation for saying anything that came into his head,” said Donald Kass, 70, a retired agronomist who was a schoolmate. When Trump misidentified Rocca, the pro wrestler, Kass recalled, “We would laugh at him and tell him he was wrong, and he’d say he was right. The next time, he would make the same mistake, and it would be the same thing all over again.”

Dennis Burnham was four years younger and lived around the corner from Donald. He inherited his own impression of his neighbor from his mother, who warned that he should “stay away from the Trumps.”

“Donald was known to be a bully, I was a little kid, and my parents didn’t want me beaten up,” said Burnham, 65, a business consultant in Texas.

Once when she left Dennis in a playpen in a back yard adjoining the Trumps’ property, Martha Burnham returned to find Donald throwing rocks at her son. “She saw Donald standing at the fence,” Dennis Burnham said, “using the playpen for target practice.”

In his memoir, “The Art of the Deal,” Trump wrote that his main focus as a youngster was “creating mischief.” As a second-grader, he wrote, he “actually” gave his music teacher a black eye because “I didn’t think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled.”

None of Trump’s childhood friends recall the incident or Donald talking about it then. Asked about the punch recently, Trump said, “When I say ‘punch,’ when you’re that age, nobody punches very hard.”

At a 2009 reunion, Kass said, the teacher, Charles Walker, told him that Trump had never struck him. But Walker, who died last year, claimed no affection for Trump. In the final stages of his life, according to his son, Charles Walker learned that Trump was considering a presidential bid.

“When that kid was 10,” Peter Walker recalled his father telling family members gathered at his bedside, “even then he was a little s---.”

Once an asshole, always an asshole.

Another local child, Steven Nachtigall, now a 66-year-old doctor, said he never forgot Trump, a ‘loudmouth bully’, once jumping off his bike and pummelling another boy.

The disturbing image remained in his brain decades later, he said, because ‘it was so unusual and terrifying at that age’.

I think you're missing the point:

These are the very qualities that the rubes and deplorables find desirable in a leader.

All the while Obama was in the jungle eating dog. Then in his later years he becomes a transgender and marries one. Then becomes the worst president in history.

Interesting question

In interviewing those who grew up with Obama, there are generally fond memories of a polite, caring young man

There do not appear to be any fond memories of a young Donald Trump

There are no stories of close friends of Trump, no stories of kindness or compassion. Just stories of a loudmouth bully who is only concerned with himself

Much like the man we elected

It does not appear that Trump has ever had close friends

His marriages have been a disaster and his choices in women are more related to their appearance and how they will look on his arm. He values shallow, superficial relationships. There is never any open affection between Trump and his wives

All reports seem to say Barron is his mothers boy. Interactions between Melania and Barron seem to show genuine affection and Melania is very protective of the child
Trump's interaction seems shallow and forced. Not many photos of Trump and Barron doing father/son things. A couple of pictures on the golf course but no real family time

Ivanka?
That is a different story
