I actually thought that would happen. I thought his campaign was one big farce and he would take a bow and exit stage left, proving the American public to be the fools they turned out to be. Wakeup call.
'Parently it wasn't. How did the promising young man turn into such an unlikable destructive old man? Organic brain disease maybe?

This "promising young man" ,unlike most of us, built a multi billion dollar empire.
To build that empire he had to be tough, and in control.
Obviously over the years, he stepped on many toes getting to the top.
The top is not for weaklings, and to get there one had to show strength, and unpopular qualities.
That became his way of live, and the more he practiced it, the more respected, as a businessman he became, along with becoming more self centered.
His opinions were well sought after.
This interview(one of many) are Representative of people wanting contact with this man over the years.
In the late seventies, and the eighties, Donald Trump was revered, and respected for his corporate sense.
Many riding the political, as well as corporate roller coaster, made it a point to journey to Trump tower to get his personal endorsement, and encouragement.
All the while this real estate magnate had his eye on politics.
That is obvious in the many tv interviews he had, where the state of the country, and world(for that matter) were being talked about.
All were seeking his opinions concerning these things.
The habitual hardness, and brutality of his business savvy, continued into all facets of his life, including two marriages.
Today not much has changed in his character except age, and the strong will to carry his business character into his political one.
He succeeded in business because he was of the opinion, it was his way, or the highway, and that put him at the top of the corporate ladder, which is where he needed to be.
I believe age has taken it's toll on this man.
Age has clouded his once perfect judgement.
I believe he wants things to be correct for all people, but he has lost the sense of direction in how to obtain the correct direction, much as it would any of us, when we reach our senior years.
So again, to answer your original question, age happened to Mr. Trump.
Bob.
