President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are known for their political sparring matches, but they have more in common than you might think. In an exploration of the upbringings of both, Dowd noted that the parenting style of real estate mogul Fred Trump differed vastly from that of Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., a.k.a. “Big Tommy D’Alesandro Jr. taught little Nancy how to count,” Dowd wrote. The problem, she contended, is that unlike Pelosi, Trump was never really raised to be an adult, his father having bailed him out of trouble time and time again. “Over the years, Fred funneled tens of millions of dollars to clean up Donald’s messes,” Dowd wrote.
