Article by a 3rd grade classmate. Look at the class photo of sweet smiling faces, one stands out. One looks like he just impaled a frog or set a kitten on fire. Creepy.

That's just my take.

(13,524 posts)He especially was obsessed with tape and glue. Along the midpoint of our desk, Stephen laid down a piece of white masking tape, explaining that it marked the boundary of our sides and that I was not to cross it. The formality of this struck me as odd. I was a fairly neat kid, at least at school, and I had never spread my things to his side of the desk. Stephen, meanwhile, could not have been much messier: His side of the desk was sticky and peeling, littered with scraps of paper, misshapen erasers and pencil nubs.
If this adhesive division kept Stephen on his side of the desk, I was all for it, as unfriendly as it seemed. But instead, the tape became an attractive nuisance. Stephen picked at it with his fingernails, methodically, in a mixture of absentmindedness and what seemed like channeled hostility. This process of effacement left a thin layer of sticky grime, not altogether dissimilar from the rest of Stephens desk.
Stephen rubbed his fingers over this layer of grime, rolling it into little gray pellets until it, too, was gone. Then he applied a new piece of tape, along with a renewed warning that I was not to cross it. Dont rinse, but do repeatfor months.

(63,221 posts)What happened to him to make him that way. Was he abused or was he just born like that? Personally, I think Trump was just born an asshole. His parents didn't help things along, but I think his wiring was faulty from the beginning.
riverwalker
(8,694 posts)To indicate a problem, born to middle class Liberal Democrats. I think he was just wired this way too.

(89,244 posts)There was something posted about his other family which i think actually were Democrats but nit Miller's parents.
I think it was just assumed they were because of where they came from .

(6,212 posts)I too think trump was born evil and nothing would change that. He may not have had ideal parents but even they could not control or put up with him. He seemed to have some pretty normal siblings.

BigmanPigman
(51,583 posts)in the classroom it seems to me that he is your run of the mill moody kid. I read about tRump as a kid and HE is the one I would worry about. He had sociopathic characteristics from the time he was in Kindergarten and was a cruel, physically hurtful bully. Stephen Miller doesn't seem nearly as extremely deviant a child as the moron was. Read this to compare...

(63,824 posts)this stood out:
He would sit with his arms folded with this look on his face I use the word surly almost daring you to say one thing or another that wouldnt settle with him.
Fuck and he still does that like a petulant kid.
and this too:
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.
This caught my eye: "refusal to acknowledge mistakes".
BigmanPigman
(51,583 posts)instead of acknowledging his mistake...a classic narcissistic sociopath. He does all of this now too! Nothing has changed a bit!
