Understand the depth of depravity we are dealing with when it comes to DJT. Remember THE BAD SEED? I imagine this was what raising DJT was like. His parents couldn’t do anything with him & shipped him off to boarding school. I think the threat of $ being cut off was & is generational motivator.
LOL, that's a great analogy! I should watch that again.
I also posted another similar but more modern movie, The Good Son, starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. (The Bad Seed is an older classic) They both capture the evil twisted minds of demented children and how they use their manipulative charms to get away with their diabolical deeds.
