Johnnie Never Had A Chance To Grow Up

Johnnie had a martinet for a father and an indulgent admirer for a mother. Johnnie never confronted his father directly. He merely did things that his father forbade, like ducking into Manhattan as a young teenager. The father fought back by sending Johnnie to New York Military Academy. Johnnie suffered through high school as a cadet, and graduated from college after fits and starts. But Johnnie Never Had A Chance To Grow Up. Rather than go to work, Johnnie joined the family business. The father built commercial and residential real estate in Brooklyn and Queens, but never ventured into Manhattan. Johnnie could not wait until he could do a deal in the City. Johnnie gradually became a dominant force in the family business. As his father regressed into Alzheimer's, Johnnie became the Authoritarian.

Johnnie allowed that his father gifted him with one million dollars to get started in business. Always loose with facts and figures, Johnnie forgo about the other two hundred million he took from his father. To avoid inheritance taxes, he depleted his father's estate of of hundreds of millions in property and funds. When his father's emaciated state was probated, his niece was deprived of millions of dollars that would have gone to her under the father's will. Somehow Johnnie became a self-appointed expert in business and politics. He placed his companies in bankruptcy six times. New York State shut his charity down as a scam. His university was closed as a fraud. His venture into politics is an ongoing disaster of the first magnitude. Will a minority of Voters fall for him again on November 3, 2020?
