But in many ways, governors have much more power, and why I would think people ought to worry more on a state level where a lot of new legislation looks more troubling. I’m sure some governors must think Trump is a gift of misdirection – everyone is riled up over one man rather than looking at the bigger picture.

He has been courting the press since he came on the scene in the 1970s with stunts, and they fawned all over him until he discovered this thing called Twitter, and dumped them for a sexier, younger model. That’s when the love affair became a hate affair. Spy magazine was one of the few publications that wasn’t getting all excited about him from the get-go, but the rest can be mad all they want; they enabled him. The bitter Trump-Media divorce was hard on the children, that’s for sure…

So where is the actual leader? Is he in a hut on a remote beach in Alaska, with a collection of interesting rocks outside his door?

Or does his cat actually make all the decisions?

Maybe he wants to be liked? He noticed that people tended to like President Obama, and assumed people would like him too if he became president.

Absolutely, I think he’s driven by a desire for celebrity, for being cheered by millions, for being loved by The People. He’s been sort of play-acting what he imagines a President does – sign important documents in the Oval Office and make new laws all day. And I think he’s incredibly frustrated that it’s not making people like him, that people are marching and protesting and mocking him ‘cruelly’ non-stop.

The fact that his father purposely got him away from her influence suggests she wasn’t allowed to be a parent in anything but name. How Trump treats women is how his father treated his mother. Instead of being angry about that, and vowing to do better in response, he repeated the pattern in his own life.

It’s certainly possible.

Now I’m really curious to know what Little Donnie Dickwad did at age 11 that was so bad, it was the final straw.

MAYBE he wants to be liked? Maybe. In the same way that say, oh I dunno, normal people want to urinate, defecate, consume food, and sleep.

Well I for one like to consume food and sleep.

Well, then our goal is clear: We must demand his tax returns, expose him for the poseur he is, and let the brand implode.

I still say it’s because of punching a teacher in the face.

I’d heard about that one; but at 11 years old?

Not that it’s impossible, but it seems a bit doubtful.

Somehow, I have a feeling that whatever he did, it was much worse than physical assault.

I think maybe that combined with how awful he supposedly was to other students might’ve done it. His father in particular looked… severe, to put it mildly. The whole sorry affair with his brother supposedly being the inheritor of the trump business but rejecting it and then being ostracised by the family doesn’t rule out anything far as i’m concerned.
