To understand Trump, you have to understand that Trump is a "Third Son". The Third Son is an affliction of successful families.

I worked for a 3rd Son. A malignant narcissist that would call me into his office to berate me for slow progress after I& #39;d pulled an all-nighter.
Third Son can manifest itself in this Trump way.

1. Grandpa started the business, worked his ass off. Grew the business.
2. Dad started working in the business as a kid, worked his ass off. The business skyrockets. Dad builds a palace in the suburbs, has a Princeling.
2a. Dad is a ballbreaker who wears a 3-piece suit to the beach and teaches the Princeling that there are only 2 kinds of people in the world, "killers and losers".
2b. Mom knows Dad keeps a mistress in town, she compensates by doting on her big, handsome Princeling.
3. "Daddy& #39;s Money" and NDAs allow the princeling to escape responsibility for numerous personal and business calamities. The princeling attributes it to his general awesomeness and positive thinking.
So, Trump& #39;s pathology in 5 Tweets.
