Yes, certainly, the Washington Post says his father sent him there because he showed signs of mischievous behavior or misbehavior. Yet the 13 year old Donald must have felt totally lonely and abandoned when he arrived in NYMA, as if someone pulled out the rug under him. His inflated, grandiose sense of self could be a compensation for deep feelings of shame and abandonment. I wouldn't be surprised if you meet an insecure 13 year old boy at the core of his personality, a child longing for the love of the parents who abandoned him.https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/lifestyle/style/young-donald-trump-military-school/2016/06/22/f0b3b164-317c-11e6-8758-d58e76e11b12_story.html -J.

I.e., WHY did his father send him there ? -J On 1/17/17 2:43 PM, Jochen Fromm wrote: In 2011 there was a press conference where president Obama roasted Trump and mocked about his competence. Trump was sitting in the audience and didn't laugh. For a person with a narcissistic personality disorder this must have been a traumatic experience. Maybe this was the moment where he decided to take revenge no matter at what cost? It starts at 2:40 https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=ohfN1_cjm5I I think if we really want to understand him we have to go back a little bit more. When Trump was 13, his father sent him to the NYMA (New York Military Academy). It is a rigid school which values discipline. He must have been very unhappy to be the only of 5 siblings to be there, to move from a rich house in Queens, NY, to this impersonal and strict institution. http://www.businessinsider.de/donald-trump-attended-new-york-military-academy-2016-12?op=1 I guess his personality must have been deformed by this humiliating experience. Was this the moment when he decided to be selfish and egoistic because his parents didn't care about him? At the core of his personality you can probably still meet the lonely and insecure 13 year old that wants to be loved. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/politics/decades-later-disagreement-over-young-trumps-military-academy-post/2016/01/09/907a67b2-b3e0-11e5-a842-0feb51d1d124_story.html They say narcissism can develop if a child gets too much or too little attention. The young Donald apparently got too little love from his parents, and he learned that he can be loved if he wins, pretends, or pretends to win. Lies obviously have been helpful to get what he wants, and from 13 to 18 no parents were there for him to guide him. Is this how a personality order can develop, too little love in childhood? -J. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove -- Joe
