his tweeting is "post-modern presidential" and his little brain retained it as "modern day presidential"?

Trumpster's phrase makes no sense.

Cavemen were survivalists who were unlikely to engage in behaviour that did not help and would likely hurt the needs of their group.

Trump is engaging in immature juvenile behaviour.

When Kirk asked Spock how he knew the Kirk from the other Universe was not him and to get ready for the switch, Spock replied
" A civilized man can always pretend to be a barbarian when required, but a barbarian can never pretend to be civilized."

Drumpf has no leadership skills. He's just a bully who uses his few strengths and syncophants to bludgeon his way through life.

Studies of modern hunter gatherer societies show what happens when a narcissistic bully turns up. The older men and the older women gang up on him and either he modifies his behavior--a lot--or he's told to leave the group, usually a death sentence.

Our caveman ancestors were a lot smarter than we've given them credit for. For instance, no punk ass kid was ever born rich or connected enough to escape responsibility for his actions toward the rest of the group. We needed civilization for that.
