In a rare display of vulnerability during an interview on Fox News Saturday night, former President Donald Trump recounted the incident that left him emotionally scarred at the age of 15.
“They nicknamed me ‘Raisinet Scrotum’ at the beginning of my freshman year,” said Trump. “I was in the shower with the rest of the guys after my first gym class when someone yelled out, ‘Hey, look at Raisinet Scrotum’. Everyone stared at me and started laughing, and they just kept on laughing. I thought it would never stop. It was the worst thing that had ever happened to me.
“From that day on, everybody called me ‘Raisinet’ in high school. At graduation, I made a silent vow to inflict the same cruelty on others that I had been subjected to during my teen years. And I’m proud to say I’ve kept that vow. That’s why I’m the supreme dipwad I am today whenever I talk about my opponents.”
When Melania Trump was asked if she knew of this episode from her husband’s past, she smiled and began playing Mendelssohn’s “Dried Grape Concerto” on her air violin.
