This made me realize a common trait with members of this administration: their mothers or other immediate family members being disappointed and embarrassed by them. Trump, Hegseth, Miller, to name just three.

Not a big surprise considering how awful so many people in this administration are s human beings. But still... It makes me wonder how insecure and resentful they must be about being rejected by their birth families. Lots of mommy and daddy issues. And the world is feeling the brunt of that.

    I am more puzzled by the fact that these kind of people are admired by a significant chunk of the American population

    No! This is the almighty media, I keep seeing how the lay man is blamed, these idols are built by Fox, Twitter and Facebook

    100 of millions of people have not read this email, you are privileged because you have more access to information

    People know that he has a strong yawline and that Obama wore a tan suit, the media is the enemy!!!

    Trump's niece Mary is actually a democrat, and very left leaning one at that. She is absolutely DISGUSTED with him. She even wrote a book about how her family dynamic created him.

    Yeah, and it sounds like she had a relatively decent immediate family experience (excluding the fact that her grandfather was a scumbag and she says her Uncle Donald lusted after her when she was younger).

    I believe she's also pretty well respected in the psychology field. She seems like a reasonable and normal person. The fact that her hatred of her uncle really gets under his skin makes me think maybe the lack of approval issues that burden Donnie aren't limited to mommy/daddy rejection.

    I believe she’s also pretty well respected in the psychology field.

    that tends to happen when you have a PhD. Her brother Fred Trump III, also destests His uncle. btw. That whole branch of the family turned out ok, surprisingly. Kind of an inverse of the Kennedy's TBH.
