Don't worry about authoritarianism....but rather "infantalism"

[twenty02]

David Brooks rightly concerned that the world is being led by a child.

Which brings us to the reports that Trump betrayed an intelligence source and leaked secrets to his Russian visitors. From all we know so far, Trump didn’t do it because he is a Russian agent, or for any malevolent intent. He did it because he is sloppy, because he lacks all impulse control, and above all because he is a 7-year-old boy desperate for the approval of those he admires.

The Russian leak story reveals one other thing, the dangerousness of a hollow man.

Melania said it best,"Boy talk".

Was just getting ready to post this article. It's spot on and also speaks to the discussion we were having in another thread about Trump and his ego/ self esteem. I noticed the fact that he couldn't sit still for more than a few minutes at the church service during the inauguration. He was fidgeting the entire time. Justbread that NATO is preparing for their meetings by changing some of their format to limit times of speeches due to his attention span and lack of knowledge. Our president is a special needs learner with an IEP.

I still think it's like he's waving his dick in front of people going "look at what I've got".
