Most people grow out of middle school. Not Donald Trump.

[spanone]

In terms of personality and worldview, Trump is stuck in middle school. Early middle school.

And that’s being charitable.

Part of growing up is developing self-control. Trump never has. Listen to him in the presidential debate, interjecting compulsively, and flash back to seventh grade and the boy in the back of the class who kept interrupting the teacher with wisecracks. It was amusing the first time or two. Then it became annoying.

We grew so inured to Trump’s antics during the primary campaign that there is a risk of forgetting how great a departure his mugging for the camera and interrupting opponents is from the rather staid norm, especially during general-election debates. Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton and moderator Lester Holt a whopping 55 times . “Not,” Trump said. “Wrong.” “Facts.” “Take a look at mine.”

1. He will never grow up. He is a cheap, petty little tyrant insistent upon having his own way

regardless of the cost to others. In fact, I don't think he has ever considered the feelings or concerns of another human being in his life. Comparing him to middle-schoolers is an insult to middle schoolers. He is an infant. A big man baby who cries and screams when he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it.

2. He is the three year old, flopped on the grocery store floor, howling because

the parent got Rice Krispies instead of Super Sugar Bombs.

3. A perfect way to describe him...

stuck in middle school ...in terms of arrested development.

I taught way more mature middle schoolers than he, and few less...

4. And know someone from junior high like that now

Married a bank VP. He's never done more than work in a flooring store. That's ok except he would have you think he's wildly successful and a financial wizard. He was rabid right wing. Then he died still an asshoke and none of us cared.

5. But but but

Newt said he's a gentleman

6. Yep, Arrested Development. Not an adult!
