Trump is like the spoiled, bratty little kid playing a board game with his peers...

And once it becomes apparent that he is not going to win the game, he becomes enraged and throws the board up into the air scattering all the pieces everywhere and stomps away.

That is what is so frightening about him as an "adult". If he starts to think that he is not "WINNING" or worse, that it's all going to fall apart on him, there is a high likelihood that he will do something drastic regardless of how destructive it is or how many people it hurts or kills. He doesn't think things through, he just reacts, but when nuclear weapons are involved you can't have someone like this in charge. There is just too much at stake.

playing chess with a pigeon. Regardless of how you move, the pigeon merely struts around
knocking over all the pieces and crapping on the board. It then struts off, thinking that it "won".
