I remember reading about Dubya - when he was a young boy his baby sister Robin, I think she was 3 - died of leukemia, and his parents never really even spoke about her death. She was there one day and then gone forever. To be fair, Bush Sr and Barbara received very bad advice regarding how to handle the situation and maybe that wasn't uncommon back then. But it left Dubya utterly bewildered, and I always wondered if that altered his personality into the asshole he became.

Trump's parents sounded like pieces of work too, and certainly not all kids react the same. Who knows. Sucks for America, for sure, and it doesn't say much about voters that they cannot detect these huge defects in character.
