50. I think he has the mind of a six-year-old

He acts just like one. Seriously.

The man who ghost-wrote dumdum's autobiography (more irony) described him as "a black hole" and "extremely damaged." (This was on Lawrence O'Donnell's program yesterday.) Unfortunately, he didn't continue because it's not as if dumdum was raised in an abusive family (to my knowledge), but something had to have screwed him up so badly that he's remained a spoiled, frightened little kid.

Not trying to psychoanalyze him-- I leave that to the professionals-- but I couldn't help wondering what made him what he is today.

He's still tweeting about it this morning.. HipChick Jul 2016 #1
