Trump was never really a parent. That's why this cruelty comes so easily to him.

[Power 2 the People]

Ivana said it. He had nothing to do with raising the children. He wanted no part of them until the work was over and they were ready to learn the family business.

"I believe the credit for raising such great kids belongs to me. I was in charge of raising our children before our divorce, and I had sole custody of them after the split. I made the decisions about their education, activities, travel, child care, and allowances. When each one finished college, I said to my ex-husband, “Here is the finished product. Now it’s your turn.”

2. If I were her

5. Being a parent doesn't make one any more or less capable of cruelty

I've met plenty of cruel parents, hell I've got one that I haven't talked to in nearly 20 years. Being a decent human being doesn't happen just because you've made a baby.

6. Ivana wants credit for this gang of sociopaths? Okay bitch, you can have it. F*CK YOU TOO!!!

As for cruelty coming easy to Trump b/c he was never a parent, I think a hell of a lot of non-parents would ask you to slow the f*ck down on that. You don't become a better person by being a parent, and you don't lack the qualities of a good person by not being one.

Hell, maybe it is inborn. Fred Trump Sr was certainly a P.O.S. As was his daddy, the draft/tax-dodging Friedrich "Best Little Whorehouse in Yukon" Trump. As are the Dotard's kids.

I think it is more likely that a) Trump didn't act like a parent because he's garbage than b) he's garbage because he never acted like a parent.

7. How can I say this a different way

Trump had biological children but felt no emotional attachment or need to be with them. If he had no interest in his own children he surely could feel nothing for children of others. Monster.

8. Don's cruelty, narcissism made him unable to parent.

9. More like he's been living in an isolated world

Residence down to work and back for many years. Now in the isolated WH. He has never seen real people, real children. The whole environment has turned him into a serious sicko. How we let him get elected is a mystery. There's one thing about electing a very wealthy person as president..and another by electing a very wealthy person who has zero understanding of the real world.
