So why is Donald Trump so angry all of the time? He seems to get whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.

1) His dad was, by all accounts, an asshole.

2) Donald was, by all accounts, an asshole as a kid. Thus was he the only Trump brother (of three) shipped off to military school.

3) He is, by all accounts, a terrible businessman. His failed ventures are legion, he managed to go bankrupt with a casino in Atlantic City FFS, and he's somehow managed to lose money in New York real estate.

4) The only bad press is no press. It's far easier to get press as a flamboyant asshole than as a genuine human being. Did you know that his older sister was a distinguished circuit court judge? Did you know he had an older sister?

I thought his sister was still a judge.

I believe she's retired.

Yea, sorry, I meant that until I read her wiki just know I thought she was still a serving justice. I knew he had a sister who was a judge and who by all reports was well regarded by almost everybody who appeared before her, I didn't know she had retired.
