When we try to divorce the worst among us from the rest of us, it stops us from asking, "How can we prevent people from turning out so fucked up? His dad was a complete piece of shit. His mom was negligent and uncaring. Trump was a messed up kid, violent from a young age. Instead of setting limits in a loving but firm way, they shipped his ass of to a reform school. Trump has been the way he is since his youth. Howard Stern, who has had his own problems, told Trump that he should really try therapy to work on himself as Stern gained a lot of insight and says it improved his life. Trump doesn't think anything is wrong with him. He thing EVERY OTHER person in the world is messed up and he is okay.
