Charles M. Blow: Donald Trump is a domestic terrorist

Donald Trump is a domestic terrorist; only his form of terror doesn’t boil down to blowing things up. He’s the 70-year-old toddler who knows nearly nothing, hurls insults, has simplistic solutions for complex problems and is quick to throw a tantrum. Also, in case you didn’t know it, this toddler is mean to girls and is a bit of a bigot.

It isn’t so much that he is a strict disciple of radical ideology, but rather that he is devoid of fixed principles, willing to do anything and everything to gain fame, fortune and power. He has an endless, consuming need for perpetual affirmation. This is a bully who just wants to be liked, a man-boy nursing a nagging internal emptiness.

He’s fickle and spoiled and rotten.

So, when he loses at something, anything, he lashes out. When someone chastises him for bad behavior, he chafes. This is the kind of silver-spoon scion quick to yell at those he views as less privileged, and therefore less-than, “Do you know who I am?”

We do now, sir.

Trump will pay legal bills for anybody beating up a protestor at his rallies.

Trump wants to eject anybody who is not a christian at his rallies. He's asked for a show of hands two or three times recently.

The nominal moniker "Christian" does not really exist any more. It has been co-opted into the service of tiny men who use it as cover for their own black-hearted hate mongering.

Those who show up to a Trump rally screaming about walls, deportation and war are as far from Christ's message as they can possibly get.
