    Do you think, in his entire long, miserable life… He has EVER, and just a single time would count here, has he EVER accepted fault for anything? Has he ever said something like,

    "This person has a point, I was wrong here"

    Ever, even just once, for any reason, like "this person was ahead of me in line actually"…

    No? He hasn't?

    Well then how do you take ANYTHING he says seriously? Every other person you admire makes little mistakes Mr. tump voter, so genuinely, how can you take him seriously?

      I ready Mary’s book. He does not. Never once. His dad always bailed him out. And I suspect he believes his dad will somehow arise from the dead and bail him out even now.

      The average trump voter probably suffers from the same inability to feel loved enough too which is probably why they are drinking his koolaid.

      Most of his behavior I've been reading about sounds exactly like a toddler acting out having a tantrum testing the limits of what they can get away with, so I doubt it.

      has he EVER accepted fault for anything?

      Not possible, unfortunately. If you read Mary Trunp's book it shows how he was abused and never shown love during his formative childhood years. This doesn't excuse him being a giant piece of shit, because other people who've gone through worse have turned out better. But without either therapy, some modicum of intelligence, or at least a desire for change he'll be stuck being a narcissist who can't understand any emotions deeper than what children feel until he croaks.

        it was his brother, Fred, who was not shown any love and compared constantly to Donald. Donald was the golden boy. And even then Donald still felt he was not shown enough love. Hence the point ‘too much is never enough’ as the title of that book.

          Golden boy or not, his father was a narcissist incapable of showing love and his mother was largely checked out of caring for her kids.
