“He grew up in a terrible environment, immersed in the childhood of Donald Trump.”

When he was little, his nickname was Donnie. He was already richer than the other children, taller than his school friends, and more than anything he preferred to show off his omnipotence on the playground. In short, when he was little, Donald Trump already looked like Donald Trump. But to anyone who has studied him closely, it is clear that he did not become the man we know all alone. Behind his trajectory and personality is primarily the influence of his father, Fred Trump.

In this third and final episode of our series on the personal life of Donald Trump, I invite you to delve into the least known period of the 46th President of the United States: his youth. What kind of family was he born into? Why did he quickly become unmanageable academically and unbearable to parents and loved ones? Can everything he experienced as a child explain what he has become today?
