'He Is and Always Will Be a Terrified Little Boy'

[Caliman73]

15. I understood you. I see it the same way.

It is very sad and tragic. That is just a simple factual statement of the emotional reaction this situation would provoke.

The fact that Trump is so destructive and either lacks insight or doesn't care to work on his core problems, is what tempers those feelings of sadness and the recognition of the tragic to merely that statement rather than to any warm feelings toward a victim.

Trump is a victim. He is a victim of his father. He is a victim of an upbringing in which he was not able to securely attach to his primary care givers. This created a world for him with no foundation of safety and trust. Instead of using the vast resources in the family to deal with the abusive nature of Fred Trump and the absence of Mary Trump as care giver, Trump has used the resources to construct a patently false image of himself as a "winner" and a strong person. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of human behavior can see through the facade.
