The Biggest Problem With Trump? He's A Weakling.

[stopbush]

Yep. That's the problem, and it explains everything wrong about him in a nutshell.

If you really want to discombobulate your RW acquaintances, call Trump a weakling every time the subject comes up. They'll slink away in shame, because he proves what a weakling he is multiple times a day. You know, and they'll know it as soon as you point it out to them.

1. He's a quivering gelatin mess..

if blotus fans call you a snowflake.. tell them trump's the biggest on the planet.

[DetlefK]

2. A real man wouldn't feel the need to lash out at every scary shadow.

Mark my words:

This will get worse.
His mental state will deteriorate.
He will see enemies everywhere.
He will get more and more defensive and paranoid.
Anybody insufficiently deferential will be seen as an enemy.
He will surround himself with more and more Yes-Men.
And once they make a mistake, he will see that as treason and turn on them as well.
His whole administration will waste valuable time and energy fighting his imaginary battles against imaginary enemies and irrelevant slights. (Evidence A: Sean Spicer's first press-conference.)

this exact scenario played out with a 'world leader' 84 years ago in a small European country. This is a large world class country....what is our hope, reason for optimism again?

[Nay]

16. Maybe we should encourage Trump to start painting landscapes. Right now. Before

he goes much further. And to give him something else to aim at instead of us. It would have worked for your 'world leader.'

18. 10-4 on that

19. He will have a meltdown sooner rather than later, I believe.

He is no longer in control of a cozy bubble like the one he's lived in up to now, where everyone had to cater to his whims and his vanity.

Now he's a public servant, answerable to us, the press, other countries, and our laws. The lies his kids, lawyers, and Melania were willing to tell him aren't going to fly any more, and he seems not to recognize that his anti-factual assertions about himself, whether in tweets or through his surrogates, are not going to fly any more.

Since he is incapable of adapting (he'd have acquired at least a modicum of maturity by now if he were), the pressures of being evaluated constantly will bring on the crazy in short order.

The craven Republicans in Congress will push for everything on their wishlist in the near term and then will dump him the second he makes a mistake too big for them to ignore (or when he melts down). They won't worry much if they don't get the whole wishlist, since Pence is already teed up.

I only hope the Trumpstench sticks to the Republican Party when that day comes.

3. that's likely to cause a missile laucnh

[leftynyc]

4. The most insecure man I've ever seen

So obsessed about size. And it does seem all his supporters have the exact same problem. If I were a nicer person, I'd feel sorry for them.

[Cosmocat]

7. Here is the thing - it isn't just him

He is the physical embodiment of the entire conservative movement after decades of programing both telling them the are the most Christian patriotic people ever AND at the same time how big of victims they are.

60 million people see themselves in him and are perfectly fine with a complete rejection of fact and reality, because just like him those things are a direct threat to the "alternative" reality they have collectively created.

But, that isn't the only problem. We are a third of the country that sees this for what it is, but the "middle" third far to often succumbs to the shear force of the lunacy of the right.

5. I like to say "snowflake".

[BamaRefugee]

6. He's ballooned far beyond snowflake

He's an entire Snowman.

"Donny the Snowman
Was a chump without a soul
With his Tiny hands
And his dumb demands
And a heart made out of coal"

Come on kids! SING ALONG!

[Achilleaze]

9. Yes. He is in his core a fearful weakling who massively overcompensates

I think that deeply buried inside Comrade Casino is an immense sense of shame about who he is. In the end, at the level of the soul, there is no escaping the truth of who we are.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. So are his supporters. N/T

[C_U_L8R]

11. He's so vainglorious

His impulses are skewed by his bloviated self-image.
So ugly.

[Gothmog]

12. Trump is a very weak person who needs constant approval

[mreilly]

13. That's what I tell the few GOP friends I have...

... For all of their talk about "snowflakes" and "safe spaces," Republicans get "triggered" if anyone criticizes the Republican Party and immediately assumes it's just some meanie sore loser liberal. They circle the wagons, stick their fingers in their ears, shut their eyes and chant "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA HILLARY EMAILS CLINTON FOUNDATION BILL RAPED EVERYBODY."

So, I've separated Trump from the Republicans. What I've told some of them is that Trump conned the Republican Party worst of all; he was never a Republican with any core principles, nor even a conservative. That he's a coward, a wimp, a sexual assaulter and a complete dipshit who brings shame to their party.

I tell them that any of the other GOP alternatives would have been fine - nobody would have protested a President Kasich. Nobody would have declared "Not MY President!" about Jeb Bush. Nobody would have ditched an inauguration ceremony for President Rubio.

And I know some may disagree with me, but I then add that if Trump steps down and a REAL President like Mike Pence takes over, we'll be happy. Pence is dignified, intelligent and articulate. Because folks, the SAME right-wing crap is going to be rammed down our throats either way - I guarantee you that - but with Pence at the helm at least we can focus on issues rather than whining tantrums about crowd size conspiracies.

My GOP friends don't necessarily agree with me, but they do at least listen to that and understand that I'm not just a knee-jerk liberal throwing a fit about ANY Republican in office.

14. He's a weak person's idea of what a strong person is supposed to look like.

[hunter]

17. A weakling, a loser, a coward. He represents his fellow Republicans perfectly.

They all prop one another up like drunks leaving the bar at closing time.

[gratuitous]

20. The scary thing is the damage he will do on the way down

There are always courtiers willing to do the dirty work, no matter how deranged the sovereign. In the chain of folks who carry out the orders, who's going to be the one who takes his or her hands off the controls and refuses to obey? Are there any such persons in the Trump administration?
