I'm reading the Art of the Deal (a gift from my sister, I did not give money to the man), and if you browse this sub, you should read it. It speaks volumes about the man, even when he doesn't mean it to.

Some stuff from his early life:

"Even in elementary [primary] school, I was a very assertive, very aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye - I punched my music teacher because because I didn't think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled." (Trump 71)

"One day [my brother Robert and I] were in the playroom of our house, building with blocks. I wanted to build a very tall building, but it turned out that I didn't have enough blocks. I asked Robert if could borrow some of his, and he said, 'Okay, but you have to give them back when you're done.' I ended up using all of my blocks, and all of his, and when I was done, I'd created a beautiful building. I liked it so much that I glued the whole thing together. And that was the end of Robert's blocks." (Trump 72).

Not exactly George Washington and the cherry tree, is it?

Also his quote about dealing with the press is rather telling.

"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies... ...I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion." (Trump 58).

As a president, he makes a great real estate Tycoon.
