Donald Trump's History Of Bullying And Terrifying People Began During Childhood, According To This Book

It sounds like the young Trump was just as bad as President Trump.    

According to a new book, Trump Revealed, Donald had a history of being a bully long before he reached the White House – hell, even before he reached middle school.

This book is the work of Washington Post reporters who’ve compiled a series of anecdotes about Trump from his younger years. They spoke to people who remembered The Donald from when he was a kid and, frankly, none of the stories are all that surprising.

One of the anecdotes comes from Dennis Burnham, who lived next door to the Trump family. He was only a toddler when his parents left him in a playpen outside; when his mom came back a few minutes later, she caught 6-year old Trump throwing rocks at him from across the fence.

There was another story, told by a now-66-year old doctor, where Donald jumped off his bike to beat up another kid. The doctor remembers the scene to this day because, “it was so unusual and terrifying at that age.”

It wasn’t just strangers either – Trump would go after his own family as well, particularly his little brother. There’s one story, bragged about by the President himself, in which he stole all his brother’s building blocks and glued them together, just to screw with the little boy.

Maybe the most notable rumor is that Trump once gave his elementary school music teacher a black eye, “because I didn’t think he knew anything about music.” That teacher, however, refuted that claim from his deathbed during the election, and remembered Donald for being nothing more, even at that age, than a “little s—t.”

You get the idea. There seems to be a ton of these stories, proving that our President was a bully from the beginning.

Which, really, is not surprising at all.
