Brilliant or more of a classic mobster, heir of a brothel owner? That shaped Donaldo into the ways of strongarming anyone by shady practices & getting away with it?
It does take a certain level of intelligence to thrive in that type of environment and survive. I’m pretty sure Donald only survived because he wasn’t worth the bullet and just kept not imploding somehow.
It is very telling how he is constantly deflecting and blaming others and never admitting guilt- it tells us everything we need to know about his family life and how his parents treated him. He needs perpetual praise and love, it is never enough, which is because he never got any. He evades and lies all the time because he was always blamed and punished for everything and never being good enough. Like parents, like son.
It’s also why he is so petulant and childish. To grow as humans we need to develop our capacity for taking responsibility and admit our mistakes and shortcomings. He would never do that because he was already mercilessly stomped into the ground by his family, so would do everything he could to avoid the blame, even when he was at fault.
