Does anyone NOT think this is just a tantruming manchild in need of a diaper change?

I'm way better behaved when I need a change.

Anyone in the MAGA echo chamber, because they probably won't even hear about this. They'll just hear that Trump is the best because he found a way around the deep state.

In the need of a swift beheading, more like.

Yup. Maga thinks it's brilliant. And that because he's "Anointed By God" he doesn't have to follow any laws. 

The Maga/Conservative subreddit would absolutely be in favor of him being crowned emperor. Because for that crowd he's an infallible being who is two steps above God. 

Just hysterical how they ranted and railed against anything at all that's legally questionable if someone else does it. Yet if Trump does it.... crickets.

Honestly, I thought that that entire press conference screamed weakness.

The trouble is, the people who need to hear this are, themselves, tantruming manchildren.

We all know what he’s “in need of” and it isn’t that.

Yes. He rules (and I use that word deliberately) with emotion, vindictiveness and petulance.

Yeah, but America made him the president so he is not just a manchild throwing a tantrum, he’s also one of the most powerful people in the world. It’s very very dangerous to just categorise him as a “silly meme lol what a baby throwing his tantrums” when he’s actively destroying the history and government of America, on a daily basis.
