Hello Michael_Panetta,
No, I didn't buy it. I figured I would hear about most of the juiciest stuff and a lot of it would simply confirm what I've already learned. Fred Trump was a lot like his father, a shyster. He was the draft dodger who emigrated to the USA and built a hotel on somebody else's land to scarf up on the gold rush prospectors. Then, when informed that his hotel could not stay where it was, he took it apart, packed it all up, and transported it to a new location which he also did not own, set it back up and went right back into business.
Fred was just as selfish and quite ruthless. A terrible father. Fleeced the government during the years after WWII by building substandard housing on government loans, paying off inspectors, etc. He also was a racist who discriminated on the basis of skin color. So that's how DT was raised. His older brother disagreed with his father and was appalled at how mean he was, did not really want any part of the family business. That's when DT was tapped to take over.
DT was a troubled kid and a bully. He got expelled from public school for hitting a teacher. Then he was sent to military academy where he excelled under the stricter system. When he found he could get extra medals for things like cleanliness he went after all those type 'awards' he could.
Being a millionaire's kid I strongly suspect he simply bought off teachers and paid to have others take tests for him, etc, essentially purchased all his grades, never did all the required reading for any course in his life.
That's why he does not keep up with the basic intelligence briefings that a president is normally supposed to do. He simply lacks the attention span to stay on any subject long enough to comprehend the material.
