31. Genetics have to be a factor in judging Trump's mental capacity...

... His grandfather was a pimp, his father was a racist slumlord and a vicious snake who got his jollies by pitting his sons against each other. Little Donnie learned from an early age that bullying and lying were not only fun, but usually got him what he wanted, and it was very likely the only way to get Daddy's approval because Daddy was a lying bully, too.
Bullies never learn to interact with others in a responsible, adult fashion because they don't have to. Little Donnie took it to such extremes that his parents had to send him to military school because he was totally uncontrollable.
An Intelligence Quotient is not wholly a measure of innate ability, but also of one's ability – and desire – to learn. A seething furnace of malice like Donald Trump has no desire or ability to learn anything apart from new ways to lie, cheat, and steal. It worked... for a while. But now he's reached the limits of what he can get away with; too many people have figured out what a weasel he is. His past misdeeds have caught up with him, and now he's cornered. And a cornered weasel is a very dangerous creature. A cornered weasel with access to the nuclear codes is infinitely more dangerous than we can even begin to imagine.

The moral of the story: Do NOT subscribe to the Pollyannic belief that "He would never", because he most certainly would, with no hesitation and even less regret. Trump is a textbook psychopath who has stated publicly that only his own morals can stop him. The problem being, he has no morals, and therefore, no restraints of any kind to inhibit his darkest urges. He likes to hurt people; he likes to impose his will on people, and he has zero compunction about doing either. Do the math.
