3. The most striking thing about the particular nature of Trump's mental disturbance or malfunction

or whatever the hell is wrong with him is how utterly juvenile it is. It's like he got psychologically stuck before he even hit middle school, so the only way he knows how to argue with or challenge or criticize others is by using stupid, childish and not even particularly creative insults. I'm surprised he hasn't called anybody a poopy-head yet, but it could happen. We do that sort of thing for amusement on our favorite social media platforms, but we're not the president of the United States, who is expected to exhibit some minimal level of dignity, courtesy and maturity in public settings. Instead, he's a bratty, spoiled child, probably a bad seed like the awful little girl in that old movie - but even she never called anybody a poopy-head. She just killed them.
