  1. I just read the book: ” Commander-In-Cheat” by Rick Riley.
    It explains a lot about Trump and why he is morally bankrupt.

  2. At public schools like Eton and Rugby they get buggered and abused, this is how those with moral flexibility are identified and selected to be future leaders. Boris, Cameron, they were selected when still at Eton school, look up The Bullingdon Club.

  3. Trump in many ways reminds me of Howard Hughes who if you remember was a total germaphobe especially near the end of his life.
