He could only derive pleasure from hurting others. That has never changed. He was raised by a workaholic jerk who spent very little time being a father to his own children. Donald Trump had no good father figure, which explains why he has no idea how to be a good father to his own children. He is more dedicated to wealth building by any means possible than he is to family nurturing.
Even after Mr. Trump became super-rich the first time, as a 30 year old multi-millionaire he went out and bought a big super-yacht - not because that was what he wanted for fun, but because that is what he thought he was supposed to do as a super-rich person, perhaps wondering if that might fill the void in his life, or get him accepted into the old money social circles which still exclude him. He took the yacht out a few times but it did nothing for him, so he sold it and never got another one. Imagine that. His first boat was a super-yacht, then he never got another one. Most boaters start out with something small, learn what they are doing, then work their way up to a larger boat. He had no business having a boat. He is not a boater, has no idea how to have fun with one.
He is a miserable man who has no idea how to enjoy life. He had all the money anybody could ever want, and a ten year old son, but he never took Baron to the beach or fishing or camping or anything else little boys might like to do with their dad. He let those precious pre-teen years slide right by as he instead glommed onto the free publicity of running for president and then messed up and actually became president. No, he never believed he would win, did not run for that reason. All he wanted was to have his name splashed all over the media because his name is his brand. He sells his name to make money.
He does like to play golf but I wonder how much enjoyment he gets out of it. Golfers are usually either very happy or super-pissed off. It's a wonderful game if you can enjoy it. A golf course is beautiful. You can leave your cares and worries behind, enjoy the scenery and concentrate on trying to do well. There are people who can enjoy that game for what it is - a challenge which can never be mastered. It's fun to try to hit the perfect shot every time, but usually the result is something less than perfection. People with a good temperament know that repetition of flawless perfection is not achievable in the real world, but those with big egos don't understand that. If you see a big ego type of golfer, they can be the type to become enraged by the game - and it does test you. It can be very humiliating to have a good round going and then make one bad shot which destroys hours of effort. That's why you see pictures of golfers throwing putters or breaking clubs in a fit of rage. Not every golfer is like that. But the ones who take it too seriously can get swept up with boasting and fooling themselves that they are better than they really are.
Anybody who understand golf etiquette would not enjoy playing with him. Golf etiquette says you do not talk or make any distraction while another player is shooting, and you do not drive the carts onto the tees or greens. What a jerk. Sounds like the Rodney Dangerfield character from Caddy Shack.
