No one who treated his own family (and anyone else who encountered him) the way he did can help humanity.
He's a monster.

(160,450 posts)Beware When Three Big Fat Men From the Trump Organization Knock on Your Door
"How would Donald Trump feel if some corporation evicted his ill and aging parent, without notice or compassion, removing all possessions to some unknown location?"
by JOE CONASON
SEPTEMBER 7, 2018
All of our presidents did things in their youth that they were not particularly proud of: George Washington chopped down that cherry tree; Bill Clinton famously didnt inhale, but Barack Obama did. And when he was 30, George W. Bush was caught driving under the influence. (He quit drinking for good ten years later.)
Donald Trump has been a teetotaller from the jump, but when he was 33, his company evicted a 74-year-old widow from her Queens apartment. As Joe Conason reported in the May 5, 1980, edition of the Voice, the Trump Organization sent three big fat men to Mary Filans apartment to clear both her belongings and her bedridden body out of the building on Barclay Avenue in Flushing.
Filan, who had recently suffered a stroke, told Conason, They said theyd come to put me on the street because I owed four months rent. I dont owe back rent. The last thing I got from Trump was a bill for $10.20, about two weeks ago, and I sent that. They just want me out because they can get twice as much rent.
Well, Trump couldnt give up drinking, because he never started. Maybe he shouldve given up evicting tenants who had never done anything wrong instead. The Voice Archives
Trump Evicts Stroke Victim
May 5, 1980
For more than 30 years Mary Filan widowed, 74 years old, and half-paralyzed from a recent stroke has lived in apartment 6B, 143-15 Barclay Avenue in Flushing. Last Friday afternoon, she answered the insistent doorbell, only to be pushed aside by the henchmen of city marshal Norman Katz, who proceeded to cart her belongings out to an idling truck. Taped to her door was an eviction notice from her landlords, the Trump Organization.
