If you’re hosting a TV show that claims to be a “roadmap to the American Dream,” who better to turn to for tips on success than the Trump family? So in 2006, CNBC’s Donny Deutsch brought Donald Trump, Jr. onto his show, The Big Idea, to get the “next-generation billionaire secrets” on how to make it big. Trump Jr.’s lesson, passed down from his dad at an early age, was simple: paranoia.

Seven o’clock in the morning, I’m going to school—hugs, kisses, and he used to say a couple things. ‘No smoking, no drinking, no drugs.’ I think a great lesson for any kid. But then he followed up with: ‘Don’t. Trust. Anyone. Ever.’ And, you know, he’d follow it up two seconds later with, ‘So, do you trust me?’ I’d say, ‘Of course, you’re my dad.’ He’d say, ‘What did I just—’ You know, he thought I was a total failure. He goes, ‘My son’s a loser, I guess.’ Because I couldn’t even understand what he meant at the time. I mean, it’s not something you tell a four-year-old, right? But it really means something to him.”

1. well, the orange Loser trusted LOTS of people with his dirty little secrets!

Michael.Cohen comes to mind,first off. And to think Cohen was recording him during their entire.relationship. Drumpf is about to learn how very accurate his statement was! Too late now!

2. Seems like he was training him

3. The one honest thing Trump did was teach his son not to trust him.

4. I wonder what he used to say to Crown Princess Ivanka? And Eric, when he was little?

What a nest of vipers.

6. Ivanka is clearly his only favorite

All his other kids seem to be...intellectually challenged, to say the least. Ivanka's the only one that's as shrewd as her dad.

5. Obama wrote, "Someone once said every man is either trying to

live up to their father's expectations, or make up for their mistakes."

Guess which path Gump Jr. chose.

7. Dont trust anyone ever

Is a typical mobster motto. But what an evil thing to ingrain that in a child. Right from the getgo trump was creating a psychological pathology in his children.
