With any early disability in a competitive system (which is life) there is coping. Trump has developed an array of maladaptive coping mechanisms to get by.

How he made it to nearly eighty without someone cleaning his clock shows an incredible amount of sheltering and enabling from those around him.

I saw that too, I am also wondering if it's true, or satire. Americanme 18 hrs ago #1
