New York Times reporter and author Maggie Haberman did extensive research on Trump's entire life for her new book, and she was able to talk to a woman that lived in Trump's neighborhood in Queens while he was growing up. According to the neighbor, Trump was a bully since at least Kindergarten, when the neighbor said Trump was throwing rocks over the fence at her infant. This doesn't even sound all that surprising anymore, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Maggie Haman's new book has been out for a couple of weeks now, and we're still getting new revelations from this book. That, to put it mildly, are actually quite shocking. And one of the recent claims that has come to light that Maggie Haberman put in her book, and she didn't interview on it this past week where she discussed this incident, is that those who grew up around Donald Trump in the same neighborhood, including mother of a young child, said that that man has been a bully since he was in kindergarten. Now, that part of course, is not shocking, but it's why the mother thinks Trump was a bully. That is quite shocking. Let me read this. This is from Raw Story, the mother, again, next door neighbor of Donald Trump growing up in Queens, the mother told Haberman that she found a young Trump lobbying rocks at her son's crib in her backyard. She starts hearing the baby screaming, and she comes outside. And a roughly five year old Donald Trump is throwing rocks at the crib. Haberman said, I guess you can allow that. Maybe initially, he didn't realize that there was a baby there. I don't know why, why is Haberman giving him the benefit of the doubt are, are you afraid of being sued? If you say, just flatly that Donald Trump was throwing rocks at a baby. Granted Trump was only five at the time, but Donald Trump, according to this mother, was throwing rocks at her infant.

Now, that is shocking, but it's also at the same time, kind of not shocking, right? If you, if you learned, which I'm sure a lot of people just did that Donald Trump was throwing rocks at a baby, you would probably think, Yeah, that sounds about right for Donald Trump. But this is just kind of a new level of, of, of disgusting. It's an infant, and Trump is just throwing rocks over the fence, I guess, at the baby. I don't know if there was a fence. We don't know exactly what happened. That's what the mother, you know, uh uh says he is throwing rocks. So we don't really know, I guess. But what this tells me is not only that Donald Trump has always been a bully, but that he's always lived a life without consequence. And that has always been one of the biggest problems with Donald Trump. That's why I think he's in so much legal trouble today, because he's always been able to do whatever the hell he wants to do and never had to pay a price for it. Uh, you would think throwing rocks at a baby, maybe one of Trump's parents would've come out and been like, Oh my God, get inside and don't ever go back outside. You're grounded for the next 10 years. But no, as far as we know, that never happened. And Donald Trump went through the rest of his life thinking, Wow, I can do horrible things and get away with it. Oh, I might

Have to stop doing the horrible things once I get caught, but I can do it until I get caught. And I think that is exactly what we see with Donald Trump today. But Haberman went a little further too, and this part did disturb me a bit. This was her in the interview. Trump believes in dominance and intimidation, and yet he is, There is this side of him that is a people pleaser and that is afraid of one-on-one interpersonal conflict, and that is lonely. It is just a fundamentally strange and often disorienting thing for people around him to experience.
