The question that no one in the media is asking concerning Trump and is latest stunt.

Is Trump's refusal to take part in tonight's debate the result of a serious character flaw. He appears to be a classic narcissist. He is constantly bragging about himself and insulting others. The inability and to handle criticism and to show any humbleness is also a trait.If he becomes president how is he going to interact with other world leaders? How is he going to negotiate with congress? Is he going to be constantly throwing fits?

Imagine what would happen when he found out Congress won't do what he wants.

drug dealers, rappers, athletes, pundits, movie stars and general celebrities. Anyone remember President Obama getting into a public pissing match with anyone, let alone a celebrity? Me neither.

I can honestly see him threatening to invoke the military if he doesn't get his way. He's that far around the bend and he's really that full of himself. He's also a fucking coward, as he's proving tonight.

Imagine the knives that Pooty-Poot and some of the other world leaders would twist into him whenever they wanted to get under his skin and get what they want... I really can't even imagine that how bad that would be or how easy it would be for some of the wolves out there to manipulate this gasbag.

That's why I may be voting for Bernie in the primaries, but I will skip with glee to the voting booth to vote for either Hillary or MOM in order to keep this piece of excrement away from the White House and away from having anything to do with my family's future.

If Megyn Kelly can twist him into knots and send him running for the hills, I don't even want to think about what someone with actual power can do.
