50% of his personality comes from his jeans and 50% comes from the way he was raised by his mother and father.
When Donny Trump (his class mates at N Y M A in Cornwall NY called him Donny) was 18 he and his buddy’s went to a local bowling alley
“bowling Timeâ€, in New Windsor NY not far from NYMA. Some younger 16 year olds from the town were playing pinball. When Donny the bully started bumping up against the machine and started picking on the younger kids . Donny was bigger than the younger kids. He started a fight with a small guy. Donny had a massive ring on his hand. He started pounding the smaller kid with that ring and caused serious damage to the younger kids head. His moron friends kept saying , “get him Donny†A bully picking on kids smaller than him. That smaller kid went on to be a u s marine pilot! As for “Donny†the bully,he became The same bully and coward he is today. His Daddy and his money kept him from facing the consequences ! Now he is doing the same thing to people who can’t defend themselves. Sad state of affairs our country is in. Let’s hope karma catches up with this low life.
50% from genes 50% from the environment. his environment complimented his genes.
Parents probably paid for his diploma as well off as they were financially
Oh boy, a hit piece from PBS. That's why Trump was re-elected in 2024. Sensible Americans hate the media.
He was so very un-handsome even as a child!
Thank you!
That part. Ain't served a lick!! The closest DJT came to the military is when he went to a military school. And Google wants me to believe that DJT excelled in baseball, soccer, wrestling and football at this school and was Cadet Captain. I want video. How does a germophobe become a wrestler? But he couldn't go to Viet Nam bc of bonespurs?
I can't stand that man
Trumps dad and mom were real pieces of shit. Fred Jr. was the only decent member of the family.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!😂😂😂😂😂
A "Killer"
🎉🎉🎉
Ernie!! I grew up watching him. ðŸ™ðŸ–¤
Donald Trump is ANTI-AMERICAN SETTLEMENT
Military school? He doesn't seem that disciplined.
Eric Trump in his book says that Mary Trump is somebody totally strained from the family that they don't even know another political hitch job by Frontline. They only interviewed people from the far far left. They never interview fairly. They don't produce their content. It's corruption by PBS thank God Trump has defended them.
What is this rubbish ?😂😂😂
Interesting: everyone seems to be a psychologist here in the comment section.
Mary Trump has a real axe to grind.
YOU just envy him bc he is handsome, and a Real Fighter! And YOU are not!
What propaganda! It's sad and pathetic.
Trump is a BULLY LOSER
i believe all this and still think he's a great president.
He went to military school yet he never learned how to salute properly
"Type ko si daddy pink duckling" i like him very much !!!!! Ang gwapo !!!!!!!! Gurang na gwapo paren . " maganda pa yung asawa nya " si ivana at melania 🥰😠🩷💜💌💋😇ðŸ™
🤣🤣🤣😂
And the military was just fine with him beating everyone up? I doubt it.
Weird since he has said his mother is as amazing and he owes all he is to her. I always wondered why he is an ass hole if that’s true
The way the democrats raised their kids— Be soft and BEG! Thats it.
I am trumps age and I am a Vietnam Veteran unlike donald the draft dodger But if I were in school I would have been the bully.
Trump is a BULLY against America
HE IS ANTI-AMERICAN SETTLEMENT
Reminds me of that saying from the movie Caligula Tiberius says to his young acolyte. I am nursing a viper for the people of Rome
Mary Trump specifically tries to discredit her uncle who she personally hates. Not a good source
Trump is a Bully against America
MAGA are Bullies against America
AMERICA HATES MAGA NAZI BULLIES
PBS got defunded by Congress because it is an ultra-left propaganda outlet, under the guise of "independent journalism". Any negative stories like the one above about Trump would never be reported of any politicians on the left (Biden, Obama, Hillary, etc.). Communist countries like China fund their own media outlets to push their own propaganda and narratives, no different than what PBS/NPR have both done.
Nah, the rich stick their kids in military school after they are beyond repair.
TRUMP IS ALL ABOUT CORRUPTION. NEVER PAID EMPLOYEES, ATTY FEES.
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. TO THE BULLY
REMAINS THE SPOILS.
TRUMP STUPIDITY ISNT DEMENTIA INVENTING CRIMES ON AMERICAN CITIZENS
This Couldn’t have been longer?
He’s not a bully he’s just a get after it on patriotic American who wants to do the best of his ability
who would have known
As much as I hate to be the one who points this out there are people with microexpression recognition training who've seen those vintage photos of Donald John Trump Sr and instantly realized he was a likely born with a antisocial personality disorder with the sociopathic tendencies kicker and that just sucks. 🕯â¤ï¸
AMERICA HATES TRUMP
WE THE PEOPLE HATE TRUMP
TRUMP IS WORSE THAN
HITLER AND BIN LADEN
OVERTHROW MAGA FASCISM
No womder trump has a personal vendetta against pbs
No wonder Trump cut PBS funding for this hit piece.
THEY RAISED A MONSTER !!!
Fred is freakishly ugly. It explains his little spawn. 😅 😂
Mentally he never grew up. As you can see.
He wasn’t a bully. He got bullied in school and his dad couldn’t stand him.
Trump is not belong in bout American Country from the beginning
TRUMP ISN'T A TRUMP
HIS DNA IS MCCLOUD
