Perhaps the best observation in Mary Trump's book is this one: that Donald is and has been effectively institutionalized his entire adult life. He has been surrounded by handlers and coddlers, has never had to survive by himself in his entire life. Never. Not once. Think about that.
I believe it would really get under his skin if everybody constantly refers to his lifelong "institutionalization."

(10,156 posts)(New York, CNN) "Mary Trump's tell-all book had sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday...That figure, which included pre-sales, as well as e-books and audiobooks, is a new record for Simon & Schuster, the company said."

Never had any one tell him NO.
Probably never has wiped his own ass cause
he has people for that.
No one had the pleasure of kicking his ass.
After you boil the possibilities of such a life,
to NOT realize how alien his thought process
are knowing he was never subjected to 'mere'
mortals like us.
He and his 'children' shouldn't be allowed to
own a goldfish much less be public servants
of with the life of millions in any capacity, ever.

help enforce the institutionalization.
Could he function anyplace other than his properties or the White House? Dubious.
