When his parents gave up trying to control his temper, he was sent off to a military school. Keep that in mind as we watch how he corrupts military discipline and legal order.

He once ordered a cadet to be whacked on the backside with a broomstick for performing a drill badly. On inspection duty, he found an unmade bed and hurled the sheets on the floor. Its incensed owner, Ted Levine, recalls hitting Trump with a broom, whereupon furious Donald tried to push him out of a second-floor window before they were separated by other cadets. Trump, Mr Levine recalls, would threaten to ‘break’ anyone who defied him.

That was attempted murder, in a fit of rage at being humiliated.
