I’m sorry you had to live through that. My own father, while not as bad as you describe yours, was likewise a bit of a bully. I marvel at what wonderful men, fathers, and husbands my brothers are, having grown up with such an example. I once asked one of them how he did it, and he said “I just ask myself what Dad would do, and then do the opposite.”
I'm happy you had brothers to help you deal with the damaging behavior of your father. I found alternatives to the example my father set on television. There were some great role models on TV when I was growing up.
Yup. There are many of us way too familiar with abuse & recognize it a mile away. Then there are people that don't come from these backgrounds but know full well it's not healthy. Together we will demonstrate to those confused, this world isn't run by dominance & deception.
True. He thinks of himself as king of the world when he's hurting others, but tantrums like a baby when he is frustrated. I don't usually listen to Trump, but my wife played the audio of Trump's remarks to black journalists. The transcript does not really capture the depth of his petulant, juvenile, self-aggrandizement.
Thank you for being blunt! Trump is nothing but a high school age “bully” who needs to be removed! Cannot wait.
You're welcome. I think I was as blunt as I was because Trump reminds me every day of what a monster my father was.

Methinks more like 5th Grade.
At his most mature, Trump behaves like a fifth grader. At his least mature, Trump behaves like a toddler.

that explains "the droppings".
It certainly does!
