Tim Miller takes on our “everyone is twelve now” government mentality as the Trump administration posts immature content about former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as Joe Biden’s son Hunter, on the official White House webpage ...

1. Nope, I taught both 6th and 1st grades

He is pre-school at best.

2. No. I would put this entire maladministration in the toddler category. 12 year olds are

much more mature.

4. I taught K-6 as an elementary librarian.

My kindergartners were more mature and better behaved than anyone in Trump's administration, (ages 5-6). I would also put Trump and his administration around toddler age, 2-3 years of age. No understanding of logic, impulsivity, poor self-control, and wild mood swings in behavior! Lots of crying and yelling when they don't get their way, and lots of melt-downs when they are tired or hungry. Those are very challenging years for parents and caregivers. The problem with Trump and his administration is, unlike toddlers who mature and grow out of these behaviors, the Trump toddlers will never grow up!

5. 12 years can comport themselves with more integrity and maturity.

The Trump Crime Syndicate mentality is much younger.

6 years old, tops.
