Trump Log #57: The Man-Child Cometh

He is a man-child. If you criticize him, he doesn't reflect on the criticism and learn from it. He lashes out like a child, a spoiled brat. Presidential? Not even close! Adult, even? I don't think so! Man-child? Yes.

His lashing out is Nixonian in quality, but worse. He out-Nixons Nixon. His obstruction of justice is obvious and public. His enemy list is published daily, hourly even, on Twitter. Unlike Nixon, he actually follows up on his enemy list. Nixon used to have a list, he never did anything with it. Trump removes your security clearance if you criticize him, he bashes you in public or he fires you.  Wah! Wah! He's all id. He hasn't reached the stage of his development yet that he has developed empathy for others or an understanding that his action have repercussions.

... and the GOP, they are his enablers.
