Donald Trump Is a Weak, Vengeful Man

He always has been. His management style is based on fear. He uses intimidation and threats to control those who work for him, and will gleefully ruin a subordinate who tries to counter him. Further, he does the same to those to whom he owes a debt of any kind.

That is who he is. In private business and now in the White House, working for Donald Trump means being fearful at all times of his nature. If you do not toady to him, you are in danger of being fired, sued, or worse.

That's who Donald Trump is. He will never change. He is a danger to those who work for him and, as Commander-in-Chief of the United States, a danger to the entire world. Somehow, he needs to be removed from that position. We are all in danger.

Weak, insecure people who bully others to hide their own fears of their inadequacies being exposed.

Maybe toss a little Hitler in, to make it a catastrophic trifecta.

And I agree - we are all in serious danger. And I've got a bad, bad feeling that next week is going to be even worse.

4. Next week? I'm sure planning is already underway.

Jeff Sessions will probably get a surprise reward for caving in to Trump. He'll get Trump's highest accolade: "You're fired!"

The Night of the Long Knives is almost at hand, I think.

11. Firing someone one day before retirement...

Is the kind of stunt that rankles many of us older Americans, who remember a time when companies fired peeps before their profit sharing was fully vested, before they got their "gold watch", etc. This does not sit well with many, many peeps - including GOPers. This will only amplify the blue wave coming this November.

You really have to be a flaming dick head to do something like this. I hope he enjoys his reputation for being a total asshole. And he doesn't even have the cojones to do it himself, so he has The Mouse do it, which makes him a chickenshit asshole.

The world will most assuredly lower its respect for the USA - and, sadly, the democratic process - for having elected a "leader" that pulls stunts like this. To say that this is a travesty of justice is to massively understate what happened.

26 hours before full retirement. If Trump voters are happy with the Asshole-In-Chief, then they're assholes, too.

14. It's funny how many so-called "strong-men" are really very weak in reality.

Like most bullies, they are paper tigers. Their strength lies in their ability to inspire fear, but push back with real strength and they crumple. He will not last. Like most of his type, he will be crushed by forces greater than he is.

16. They're over-compensating for their true weakness.

But, that makes them dangerous, if they have power.
