Not possible, unfortunately. If you read Mary Trunp’s book it shows how he was abused and never shown love during his formative childhood years. This doesn’t excuse him being a giant piece of shit, because other people who’ve gone through worse have turned out better. But without either therapy, some modicum of intelligence, or at least a desire for change he’ll be stuck being a narcissist who can’t understand any emotions deeper than what children feel until he croaks.
it was his brother, Fred, who was not shown any love and compared constantly to Donald. Donald was the golden boy. And even then Donald still felt he was not shown enough love. Hence the point ‘too much is never enough’ as the title of that book.

Golden boy or not, his father was a narcissist incapable of showing love and his mother was largely checked out of caring for her kids.
