It was worse than that. Fred didn't spoil his son, he taught him that the world is divided into winners and losers, and that there is nothing worse than being a loser.
Indeed, Fred sent Donald to military school on purpose to toughen (many would say brutalize) him further. Physical abuse there was rampant, and Trump loved and excelled at it.
But only Donald was sent to military school, not his two brothers. I know I have read several times about Trump’s violence in school (punched a teacher, I am pretty sure). I thought he was sent to military school for a similar reason as many boys in those days-to “teach” him discipline.
