I started reading "Too Much and Never Enough" by Trump's niece, Mary L. Trump. She provides a lot of family background about what she believes formed him into the man he is today.

Among many other interesting things, I learned that he's still unhappy when anyone reminds him of his older brother dumping mashed potatoes on his head when he was seven. Apparently he still hasn't gotten over the insult.

His father always said things were "great" and "perfect" even when they were far from it. His dad also mocked Trump's older brother for apologizing or taking the blame for anything, therefore teaching Trump that apologizing and accepting responsibility are pathetic.
