(36,742 posts)Trump reportedly didn't want to name his first son after himself, saying 'What if he's a loser?'

(63,221 posts)Honestly. I know this guy is a complete loser and a jerk, but he has been abused his entire life by a heartless, evil bastard. That has got to screw a person up. What a sad, dysfunctional family.
Where the hell is Ivana? Why is she not there for her children? Why does she not protect them from her evil SOB of a husband? If you ask me, she is just as guilty for allowing them to be influenced by him. At least Marla Maples had the good sense to keep Tiffany away from her father. And she is better off for it.
I don't like him, but I do definitely feel for him. Trump was a very abusive father to his sons. Who knows what kind of person Don Jr. would have become if not for his father's cruel treatment of him. There could actually be a likeable person in there somewhere. After seeing that video, I wonder if he could be headed toward some real disaster like a possible overdose or nervous breakdown. Trump's reaction would probably be to call his son "a loser" like he's done so many times before.
I agree about Ivana. She could have protected her children from their father, but she might have been protecting her financial assets more.

(7,595 posts)It was when trump had his family, wife Ivana and his then mistress Marla at the same ski trip. This is when Marla confronted Ivana about her relationship with him and I believe Marla did this because he was too much of a coward to break up with his own wife himself.
It was because of that episode, 12 year old Don Jr. didn't speak to his father for a year. Don Jr. also admitted that his father would regift monogrammed Christmas presents back to him that Jr. got for him the previous year for Christmas.

(47,368 posts)about the regifting Christmas presents back to Junior. That doesn't sound like a mistake, probably Trump telling his son what he really thought of him.

(40,203 posts)He knows that he would be stuck in a dead end job somewhere if not named Trump, he knows he would never have gone to the University of Pennsylvania if not named Trump, he knows he wouldn't have any money if not named Trump.....
His entire life isn't his own. He is a lost soul. He isn't his own man.
If he wasn't such a colossal asshole one might actually feel pity for him.

(14,489 posts)that tRump and his kids have to take street and/or 'script drugs just to appear half-way normal and without them, they are a total wreck. I've known people like that.
We'll probably never know unless someone leaks some info about their "Better Living Through Chemistry".

(7,595 posts)I ask because I can see a jump in the video at the same moment that he says "twump", it's almost like it's been paused or edited.
