His kids are smart, and well spoken. I was pretty shocked, though, when Donald Jr. told me that the family believes that people are like "ace horses" and that breeding is what matters. he said he was the product of the breeding of a high quality mother and a high quality father so he was genetically destined to succeed at a high level. Very weird stuff to say on the record His wife Ivana was interesting. She started to tell me she thought that Donald could be explained as a guy who was never loved and sought to make up for it by seeking attention from the world. Then she stopped and said, "You know, I don't really understand him at all." She's known him for forty years and still doesn't get him

The Truth About Trump is that he is a damaged man, with an enormous ego, who wants the prize of the presidency because it's the biggest thing he could possible go for.

No one has asked whether I was threatened by Trump. I was. He said he could sue me if I did something he didn't like. Then his lawyer called me, and my publisher, to threaten to sue both of us. This was before the book was even published I was very careful to have good sources for the book and I recorded audio of every meetings, so I feel confident about what I published. And no one in the Trump camp has called to comlplain

I think the key to stopping him is gentle mockery. It would be a bad idea to get down in the gutter with him. Nicknames and wild accusations wouldn't work. But if a candidates points out his deficiencies, and keeps reminding voters of his failures including Trump U and the bankruptcies, he will feel provoked and do self destructive things

Good question. He understand right and wrong on a basic level, but he doesn't have a lot of empathy for other people. He judges every situation on the basis of how it affects him.he also will take things to extremes...to places where others won't go...in order to get what he wants. Related to this is an exchange I had with him about his criticism of a famous elderly actress. Kim Novak. He tweeted horrible stuff about her. I asked him about it and his reply was "I don't think I got into a lot of trouble for that." He didn't understand that he hurt her and that was what I was asking about
