Yes, but in Donald Trump's case, what his father was, had a whole lot of
influence on who he is. His father took him into his business, and taught him
his ways. True, Donald didn't want to stay in the outer boroughs as his father
did. He wanted to own real estate in midtown Manhattan. His father built
housing for working people while Donald wanted to get into the luxury housing
market. But Donald kept getting into debt, and his father kept bailing him out.
When Donald began getting into trouble as a teenager, his father's solution was
to send him to military school. Donald had been an obviously troubled child. He
was attacking other children when he was a toddler. His father never sought
professional medical help for him. I think that Donald is a producdt of his
father's attitudes about life and humanity.

All proof that Donald Trump is exactly what many of us believed through
watching his actions over the years, rather than just focusing on his mouth.
But I would caution mentioning his father's actions.
My dad was a member of the American Communist Party, but I never joined, nor am
I a true Marxist. True, my dad's politics and life choices had a profound
impact on my later life, but remember that dad was an Atheist and I broke
rank...and probably at the time, his heart, by becoming a "Born Again
Christian". For ten years I stayed the course before Reason caused me to ask
too many questions, that even God could not answer. But I am my own person,
just as Donald Trump is his. I'm sure that Donald Trump's childhood and his
father's influence has had an impact on him. Still, I flatter myself into
believing that I have something that the Mighty Donald Trump does not have.
Something of ultimate value. The ability to learn from my mistakes, and to
draw the good from other people's experiences. I present myself as a diamond
in the rough. Perhaps still concealing a flaw or two, but still, a work in
progress.
As are you, Bonnie.

During Nixon's day Trump was sued by the government for refusing to
lease to blacks, and for telling prospective black tenants that his
buildings were full when they in actuality weren't. I remember
hearing about that in the news of the day, In articles I've read in
the last few weeks, as was true in similar articles and news reports
during the campaign these problems were reviewed. When he was trying
to get his three casinos in Atlantic City going he warned that he
didn't want blacks counting the money--he wanted Jews wearing
yarmalkas doing that, and he didn't want any black employees to be
seen when he walked through any of the casinos, much as he has
insisted that older women, overweight women, and pregnant women
employees are not to be on duty when he visits any of his resorts in
more recent years.
The title of this article appears to be totally true.
