He was far too babied and rich to have dealt with much if any bullying. I would more expect him to have lived in a closed social bubble of affirmation, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was a bully.

@UndeadPrivateer Do kids in private schools not get bullied? I wouldn’t know.

@SimplyTracie When their parents make massive donations to the school the faculty has reason to voraciously defend them, even if they personally don't care about the donations purely because of job security. Their higher ups will care. And being a member of a well known and incredibly wealthy family gives you a lot of social clout.

Both add into there being very little if any bullying going on for him under normal circumstances. And then amongst students social cliques are dialed up to 11 there and money means far more than anything else. Being "the rich influential kid" is not viewed as a bad thing at all. If anything it's highly positive, as hanging around him and appeasing him may grant you some access to that money and influence.

Reference: Experiences from when I briefly attended a private school, was expelled after a year for a number of reasons, combined with common sense.

@UndeadPrivateer I would think that the school he attended was filled with children with highly influential families. Like his son Baron.

@SimplyTracie While true, Trump's father was legitimately an incredibly successful businessman that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. There are not very many people worth that much money, especially not at that time. He was also a horrible racist, but that's beside the point.

@UndeadPrivateer Was it during Dale Carnegie's time because there was quite a few filthy rich people back then.

@SimplyTracie No, would've been after Dale's time by a fair bit. Fred benefited quite a lot off the economic hardship of Post-War America, which was during Dale's final years on this Earth.

@UndeadPrivateer I heard that Hannity made millions off those who had their homes foreclosed on. It’s all about the timing I guess.

@SimplyTracie Especially so in real estate, yeah.
