Thanks for another batch Martin. As always, you've given me much to process. i have an idea that you might wish to consider. There are points in our lives that, occurring at an impressionable time, that shape our personality and determine our approach to events. Although he was a less than fervent church attender, the young Donald Trump was exposed to Norman Vincent Peale and the "Power of Positive Thinking" he espoused. The idea that Trump twisted that theme into "I can do no wrong." would explain his self-serving approach to all he does. Just athought.
Steve, there is so much of this baloney in his past that I largely avoid it. The reality is he inherited a huge amount of money as a young man, which he badly mismanaged, and has always been an unrepentant narcissist and a bully, going back to his school days. The guy was a jerk back then and nothing has changed. Thanks for the feedback! M
