I imagine he NEVER stops mansplaining.

Theresa May finds it impossible to make any headway in calls to Trump, Bloomberg reports, as the U.S. president never stops talking

1. he's such a big sensitive baby

hard to believe anybody that is in his 70s could have a meltdown over such minor criticism

[tymorial]

4. He simply isn't used to being challenged.

He will never understand why we all just don't love him. He "knows" what is good for us. He is after all president and gets to do whatever he wants right?

He is such a puke.

6. He's a man who knows that his brand requires adulation from the masses in order to survive.

And he's had a lifetime of practice to build his own stage and props to promote himself.

I am glad to read that he's having difficulty in his new gig.

12. Minor, toned down criticism is likely what he gets from most leaders

THEY, like top Democrats here, abide by the norms that give a level of respect to the position of President of the United States. Here, it creates a bizarre situation where serious people like Durbin and Schumer talk issues and Trump responds with bullying name calling and distortion in tweets.

It is entirely right that the foreign leaders and the Democratic leaders keep their own dignity and not get down to his level. That leaves the media to call him out for lowering the office. It might be that unelected Democrats - especially Democratic celebrities are the only ones in the position to respond in kind to Trump. Even then, a brief listen to talk radio shows that they live on any over the top criticism of Trump - labeling it unpatriotic, unAmerican and (ridiculously) treasonous. They act as though no one (not even them) ever attacked President Obama.

13. No he's a fugging fascist

3. It's a narcissist thing

They fill every bit of air with their own voice... that way they can never be challenged. Gish galloping and then some.

5. Putting politics completely aside, I've always LOATHED that personality type!

7. I doubt he'll get his Mininum Daily Requirement of butthickeys at Davos, either. nt

10. I expect him to be shunned.

I hope that he will be humiliated.

8. I think he believes if he just fills in words people will believe he's well informed

You get that in his speeches. Lots of random words. It works on some people, I guess.

11. It would be interesting to know if he does this to all leaders -- not just May

It might not be that she is female, but that she is British and expects a normal conversation where people actually take turns speaking and listen to what was said. Other than someone like Netanyahu, I wonder if ANY leaders get many words in edgewise.

The idea that he actually asked her to get the British press not to criticise him is incredible. I suspect it is part of his belief that any opposition to his disgusting positions and persona is all the fault of "fake news" here.
