Trump is engaging in immature juvenile behaviour.

" A civilized man can always pretend to be a barbarian when required, but a barbarian can never pretend to be civilized."
Drumpf has no leadership skills. He's just a bully who uses his few strengths and syncophants to bludgeon his way through life.

(111,245 posts)Studies of modern hunter gatherer societies show what happens when a narcissistic bully turns up. The older men and the older women gang up on him and either he modifies his behavior--a lot--or he's told to leave the group, usually a death sentence.
Our caveman ancestors were a lot smarter than we've given them credit for. For instance, no punk ass kid was ever born rich or connected enough to escape responsibility for his actions toward the rest of the group. We needed civilization for that.
