23. Trump has no "friends".

I guess it depends on how you define friends.

If by friends, Trump means people that you hang around with to try to see if you can scam them, or take from them or use them to your advantage in some way, then I guess he might have "friends".

If by friends you mean people who you care about, who care about you; people who you share mutual respect with and would help in a pinch, and who you know would have your back... then Trump HAS NO FRIENDS.

To have friends, you have to be able to care about people, you have to be able to say, "Jim is really into fishing. Me, not so much, but I am getting Jim a fishing trip package because it will make him happy." Can you imagine Trump thinking that way or doing that for ANYONE?

To have friends you have to see beyond yourself and care about things other than yourself. Trump does not and can not. Trump holds his children and looks them in the eye, only to try to see his own reflection.
