Turns out, Donald Trump was born this way. Even back in his college days, he was the same "brash, blunt, and sometimes bombastic personality" that we're all watching dominate the Republican presidential stage. Indeed, according to a new profile of The Donald in The Boston Globe, his signature antics may date as far back as the second grade.

While Trump is now merely throwing verbal punches at his foes, as a second grader he actually socked his music teacher because he "didn't think the teacher knew enough about music," The Globe reports. From there, Trump's story unfolds with one Donald-esque moment after the other. Here are some of the best:

• Trump was voted "Ladies Man" by his all-male high school peers.
• In college, he gave a professor this response when the class was asked why they'd chosen to study real estate: "I'm going to be the king of New York real estate." "Sit down, you [expletive]," one of his classmates recalls thinking.
• One of Trump's former roommates recalls him being so meticulous that he "fold[ed] his underwear into squares and stack[ed] them neatly on a shelf."
• During rides home from high school on a Port Authority bus, Trump would point out all of his dad's buildings in Queens. "My dad, he built all those homes over there," one classmate recalls him saying.
• Trump's college attire, according to actress Candice Bergen, consisted of a "two-piece burgundy suit with matching burgundy patent leather boots, and, a particularly nice touch, a matching burgundy limousine." Bergen turned down Trump's request for a date.

But perhaps even better than these young Trump tales is this quote from one of The Donald's old classmates that sums him up all too well: "Tact wasn't his strong suit then and it isn't now."

Cesar Sayoc, the suspect arrested in connected to the package bombs mailed to prominent Democratic and media figures this past week, "was someone lost" who "found a father in [President] Trump," Sayoc's family's attorney, Ron Lowy, said on CNN Friday night.

Lowy told CNN's Anderson Cooper he believes Sayoc "was attracted to the Trump formula of reaching out ... to these types of outsiders, people who don't fit in, people who are angry at America, telling them they have a place at the table, telling them that it's okay to get angry." He described Sayoc as acting "like a 14-year-old in an adult's body," not "working on all cylinders."

Sayoc is now subject to multiple federal charges. Watch Lowy's full comments below; his segment begins around the 10-minute mark. Bonnie Kristian

President Trump at a rally in North Carolina Friday night condemned political violence; said "everyone will benefit if we can end the politics of personal destruction;" and praised law enforcement efforts in capturing the man thought to be responsible for mailing package bombs to high-profile Democratic and media figures this week. But the president quickly pivoted to attacking the press.

"We have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the Republican Party," Trump said. "The media has tried to attack the incredible Americans who support our movement to give power back to the people."

Trump's crowd responded with a chant of "CNN sucks" and "media sucks." CNN was one of the bomb package recipients; the bomb mailing suspect is thought to own a van covered in pro-Trump bumper stickers.

President Trump's criticism of CNN might seem a little harsh considering the network was sent two explosive devices in the past week. But Trump doesn't think he's gone far enough.

In comments to reporters after the arrest of a man suspected of sending bombs to presidential critics, Trump asserted that he's "been toned down" when it comes to taking on the media lately. In fact, considering "the media's been extremely unfair to me and to the Republican Party," he said he "could really tone it up."

Trump also discussed the arrest of Cesar Sayoc, who drove a van covered in pro-Trump stickers. Trump acknowledged Sayoc that appears to be "a person who preferred me," but said he "did not see my face on the van." And as for those targeted by Sayoc, such as former President Barack Obama? Trump said he would call them "if they wanted me to, but I think we'll probably pass." Watch that moment below. Kathryn Krawczyk

Former President Barack Obama wants to call it like he sees it.

Speaking at a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in support of local Democratic candidates on Friday, Obama couldn't believe the audacity of his successor's claims about protecting health-care coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

President Trump "says 'I'm going to protect your pre-existing conditions,' while his Justice Department is in court right now trying to strike down those protections," said Obama, referring to a lawsuit backed by the Trump administration attempting to overturn major aspects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. "That is not spin. That's not exaggeration ... that's lying," said Obama.

Obama also lamented the current culture among those in public office — "politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying." Much like his previous speeches rallying for Democratic support, Obama called for high voter turnout. He warned voters not to "fall for" the "fear-mongering" about immigration, reminding the crowd that lawmakers would likely push anti-immigrant rhetoric until the midterm elections.

FBI agents arrested 56-year-old Cesar Altieri Sayoc on Friday, charging him with five counts in relation to explosive-laden packages that appeared around the country this week. The FBI identified 13 packages that likely came from Sayoc, and he now faces 48 years in prison, per a Department of Justice complaint.

Fingerprint evidence and "possible DNA association" connected the suspicious packages addressed to former government officials, donors, and politicians critical of President Trump, the filing showed. The packages came from a Florida postal center near where Sayoc lives, and addressees' names featured misspellings that were frequent on Sayoc's social media accounts. All 13 packages contained "potentially explosive" materials that were "not hoax devices," FBI Director Chris Wray confirmed in a Friday press conference. There may be other packages in transit, he said.

After Sayoc's arrest, images began circulating of a van covered in anti-CNN and pro-Trump stickers taken into FBI custody. The Friday filings confirm the van belonged to Sayoc.

In the conference, Attorney General Jeff Sessions specified that Sayoc is charged with threats against former presidents and illegal mailing of explosives, among other charges. Sessions closed the hearing by saying he didn't know why Sayoc targeted Democrats, but added that he "appears to be a partisan." Read the entire complaint against Sayoc here. Kathryn Krawczyk

Not even authorities' confirmation that suspected mail bomber Cesar Sayoc owned a van covered in pro-Trump stickers is enough to convince some that this isn't all just a "false flag" operation.

Far-right activist and Trump supporter Laura Loomer on Twitter Friday wondered aloud why the suspected bomber's van, which the FBI seized Friday, looks "brand new." Sayoc's van was covered in pro-Trump stickers, including some that depicted crosshairs over prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton. But Loomer dismissed this by contending the stickers seemed to be "printed yesterday," implying a wild conspiracy is afoot. In another tweet, she sarcastically asked for "nature-proof Trump stickers" and questioned why the ones on the van weren't damaged in Hurricane Michael.

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh made a similarly wild argument on his show Friday, using the fact that the stickers aren't faded from sunlight as "evidence" that this is all a ruse, The New York Times' Trip Gabriel reports. This theory is despite Sayoc's apparent longstanding social media profiles, that are reportedly full of right-wing conspiracy theories, threats against Democrats, and videos taken at Trump rallies. Sayoc's fingerprints were discovered on one of the pipe bombs, authorities said. The "false flag" theory is also in spite of the fact that numerous Twitter users have posted pictures of the van covered in the same stickers that they say were taken up to a year ago.

Many in the conservative media over the past few days have been floating conspiracy theories that a Democrat was responsible for the attempted attacks or that the entire thing was a hoax. Limbaugh previously suggested that it would "make a lot of sense for a Democrat operative or Democrat-inculcated lunatic to do it." FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a news conference Friday afternoon that the pipe bombs were "not hoax devices," and Attorney General Jeff Sessions that the suspect "appears to be a partisan."
