Do you know what’s behind Trump’s hints and comments that Smith may not really be the prosecutor’s/persecutor’s last name? Is this an “Obama/Soetoro” name problem with Smith?
Wikipedia is a biased source for information but it has its uses. I’ve never seen a biography where the person’s parents weren’t named (”born to XX and XY Smith”). Jack Smith’s parents are not named on his wiki page, nor is there any reference to any of his birth family (sisters, brothers). President Trump never says anything he cannot prove, so we should assume that Smith was not Jack’s last name at birth. So he either has a criminal record, or he has a name that can be traced to someone unsavory. I’m opting for the first one. Based on his past cases, he’s a sociopath who doesn’t mind railroading innocent people or overcharging crimes.
The most recent edition of the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” (DSM-5), which mental health professionals use to diagnose mental health conditions, defines sociopathic behavior as a consistent disregard for rules and social norms and repeated violation of other people’s rights. They often break rules or laws, behave aggressively or impulsively, feel little guilt for harm they cause others, and use manipulation, deceit, and controlling behavior.
Sound like anyone we know named ‘Smith’? The fun thing about President Trump is that his hints almost always lead to a reveal later. Maybe someone with the resources to dig into his high school years in Syracuse will go to the library and start looking at yearbooks to figure out who is really is.
