[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the nyt article posted above. To have multiple anecdotes about corporal punishment in a eulogy? Explains a lot… these kids were messed up on so many levels. [/quote]
Watch the recent documentary, which is mostly 1-on- 1interviews with the 3 adult children. They all talk about their father never coming to any of their games or events as kids — if you wanted to see dad, you went where he was going (deals & wrestling matches, etc). The adult kids don’t see any harm caused by this dynamic. [/quote]

I don't either.  It is a pretty accurate description of my childhood.

My dad was extremely successful, military & government, and he never had time to attend our sporting events or school activities because he was always working.  If we wanted to see him, we went to where he was.  He always made time for us there.  It was what it was.  And it was what made him the respected and highly recognized man that he is today.

My (and apparently the Trump kids') experience was different from yours but it doesn't mean it was less good than yours.  I would wager that I have a better and more healthy relationship with my dad than you did/do with yours.[/quote]
Curious why you felt the need to get defensive. I intentionally wrote that post as neutral - simply re-stating facts. But here you are betting that your dad is better than mine. Sad. [/quote]

You don't see this statement ([b]The adult kids don’t see any harm caused by this dynamic.[/b]) as judgmental?  Sad.  Actually, very sad.

And I stand by my response.  I fully believe that I have a healthier relationship with my dad than you do with yours.  How do I know this?  I know it because I am not judging him for the decisions that he made to be the best person, father and husband he could be.  I recognize and respect his choices because I see the value that he produced for our family and our nation.[/quote]
DP. This is all anonymous, so I have no idea who you and your father are. I do know who Donald Trump is and what he’s like as a person. I seriously doubt he could be a good father — but not because his kids only really spent time with him at work. Malignant narcissists are not good parents. Compulsive liars are not good parents. Morally bankrupt people are not good parents. Therefore, Trump is unlikely to be a good parent.[/quote]

You know what makes him a good father?  His kids stand by him.  They wouldn't do that if they didn't love him and if they didn't respect him.  They aren't doing it for money.  They are doing it because they love and respect their father.  That makes him a good father.

I'm not a Trump fan.  Far from it.  But it is clear that these kids love their dad, and that makes him a good father.

It’s $$$$$$$$$$$[/quote]

Yeah and a toxic daddy complex. Trust me, it’s not that he’s a good father. Or human being.[/quote]
