Frankly, there is no shortage of things that Donald Trump has done as a fully grown adult human being that could be described as horrifying, sadistic, disgusting, hateful, and even illegal. As the disgraced former president officially goes down in history as the very first former or sitting United States president to ever be formally indicted on both state and federal charges, many of which are very serious felony crimes, that fact has really never been more evident than it is now.
As the nation continues to wade through what can only be described as our biggest source of humiliation and shame, we thought it was a good time to remind our readers that while, at the ripe old age of 77, Donald Trump is undeniably one of the worst human beings we’ve ever had the displeasure of bearing witness to, a biography of the now-former president once made it crystal clear that the man we know and loathe today was no better as a child. In fact, he may have even been worse.
The revelations surrounding Donald Trump’s behaviors as a child came in a 2016 biography compiled by journalists with the Washington Post, Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power.
In the tell-all of the man who was, at that time, set to win the 2016 presidential election in a matter of weeks, Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher describe a sadistic child, a “loudmouth bully” who was hated and feared by his neighbors, who terrorized everyone he came into contact with, even innocent toddlers, who already displayed narcissistic tendencies as he refused to ever admit he was wrong, who yeared for admiration and respect he never deserved, and even openly and proudly bragged of blacking his music teacher’s eye.

Trump Revealed was chock full of more bombshell revelations than we could ever begin to cover in this piece — including a level of exposure for Trump that, in all honestly, should have stopped his presidential campaign in its tracks, right then and there. But the worst of it all, in our opinion, was the revelations and testimonials from those who lived in the Trump family’s neck of the woods during Donald’s childhood.
The biography describes Dennis Burnham, a toddler at the time of Trump’s childhood days who lived right next door to the affluent family. Burnham’s mother briefly put her toddler, Dennis, in a playpen in their garden only to return just moments later to find a 5 or 6-year-old Donald Trump — the very same person who would go on to become the 45th US president — standing on his side of the fence that separated their years, violently throwing rocks at her toddler son.
The book confirms Dennis’ mother ultimately had to warn him to “stay away from the Trumps,” as she desperately didn’t want her young son to be “beaten up” by the Trump family bully.
Steven Nachtigall, now a doctor in his 70s, also had the unfortunate pleasure of living near Donald Trump during his childhood. Nachtigall told the journalists that he would never forget seeing Donald, who he described as a “loudmouth bully” bailing off his expensive bicycle to pummel and beat another child.
Steven said that memory remains burned in his brain forever because “it was so unusual and terrifying at that age.”
Trump’s former teacher at the private primary school Kew-Fores, Ann Trees, described the would-be president as unruly, spending his time with a gang of boys who got their kicks from pulling girls’ hair and making the biggest disruptions they could in their classrooms.
“He was so headstrong and determined,” Trees recalled. “He would sit with his arms folded with this look on his face – I used the word surly – almost daring you to say one thing or another that wouldn’t settle with him.”
It certainly puts one in the same mind of the grown man we have witnessed terrorizing and destroying this country at every turn.
Trump, of course, is proud of his long-standing reign of terror that hails all the way back to his childhood days, even publicly bragging as an adult of the time that he blacked his music teacher’s eye and nearly got expelled at 8 years old, simply because he “didn’t think he knew anything about music” — the same teacher who, upon learning of Trump’s presidential run while on his deathbed, described Donald as nothing more than a “little sh-t.”
“I liked to stir things up and I liked to test people,” Trump said of himself as a child. “It wasn’t malicious so much as it was aggressive.”
The remainder of Donald Trump’s life has been nothing more than a continuous string of bullying and hatred.
Aristotle said, “Give me the child until he’s seven and I will show you the man.” It’s never rang more true than it does for Donald J. Trump.
