I know someone whose step daughter was Miss America and for a year she traveled with Trump and worked with his children, whom she also admired immensely.
The rest of friend’s family also traveled with him and said he is very kind, gracious, etc.
My feeling is he gives back what he gets. If he’s challenged, lied about, or the like, he hits back harder so the receiver thinks twice about challenging him again.
If you are sincerely kind to him he returns it in favor and more so.
I believe it. And Mr. Trump admits that 100%. You take a swipe at me, I’ll hit you ten times harder.
