Why this New York lawsuit is really going to anger Donald Trump

Donald Trump is not big on loyalty to anyone else -- with one major exception.

When it comes to his immediate family -- especially his adult children -- Trump is uncharacteristically loyal, demonstrating a fatherly pride and protectiveness that he shows to no one else in life.

"I have a lot of good relationships," Trump has said. "I have good enemies, too, which is okay. But I think more of my family than others."

In all of his endeavors -- from his real estate business to his reality TV empire to his White House tenure -- Trump has installed his children as his deputies, a clear signal that he only really trusts the people who are related to him by blood.
