11. Early in Donald Trump's life he learned
Thu Apr 24, 2025, 10:15 AM
Apr 24

that if he shouted and screamed enough, he would get whatever he wanted. He has not progressed beyond that stage of development. In his first term he had people keeping him in line, but now he’s only got toadies and yes-men around, and he’s been anointed as “immune” by the Supreme Court.

So now we’re seeing what happens when an almost-octagenarian with the emotional development of a toddler becomes President of the United States without guardrails. He’s publicly addressing the leader of one of America’s longstanding adversaries in a way that sounds like a kid in the back seat of the family sedan yelling at his sister to quit hitting him. What a pathetic embarrassment.
