That's not what *she* said, SHITLER. Ur always blaming somebody else, now your mother!1

There's a quote from her saying, "What kind of son have I raised?!1" apropos of some crap he had done. Will try to find it.

*** ON EDIT: There's one source for her quote, added below. Uh-oh, the psychologist quoted said that lack of empathy *IS* the mother's fault!1 ***2ND EDIT: Quoting the psychologist or whomever does not equal MY agreement, while SARCASM *is* mine!1

Trump says he turned out the way that he did because he 'couldn't do any wrong' in his mother's eyes


.... "She was so good to me. I couldn't do any wrong, which is a big problem," he said.

"Maybe that's why I ended up the way I ended up. I don't know. I couldn't do any wrong in her eyes." ....

Donald Trump's mother asked: 'What kind of son have I created?'
US leader's parent reportedly disturbed by attention her son's behaviour attracted


.... Mary Trump, the Scottish-born mother of the US President who died in 2000, is reported to have been acutely embarrassed by the antics of her fourth child during the 1990s when his failing marriage and business were the subject of intense tabloid scrutiny. ....

But Ms Trump despaired of her son’s antics during the late 1980s when the ups and downs of his divorce from his first wife, Ivana Trump, meant her family were thrown into the spotlight when she was in her eighties.

She became a minor source of attention during this time and was frequently photographed by the paparazzi. She was horrified at the role her son played in it, according to a 1990 article by Vanity Fair. ....

Friends of the family have commented that Ms Trump always seem more distant from her family than her husband. ....

A friend of Mr Trump’s older brother Fred Jr agreed that they "rarely" saw his mother but "did see a lot of the housekeeper".

Psychologists who are analysing the President behaviour have wondered whether his thin skin, need for praise and poor treatment of women – particularly those who stand up to him – stems from his relationship with his mother. ....

" ...the capacity for empathy develops through your maternal relationship.”

2. Likely why he was sent away to military school.

This guy can’t tell the truth if he swore on his mother’s grave.
I think that he wrote (or had the author write) in his book Art of the Deal, that he went to military school because his parents felt he needed discipline.

... took with him going to Manhattan when he wasn't allowed to go.

Both incidents happened but I think the teacher attack was earlier.
