Trump’s Immaturity, and Lack of Average Intellect in the Spotlight Again

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Too old, too ill, too fascist, and too dumb to be my president. This is how I describe the orange buffoon squatting in the people’s White House today. He is woefully unqualified, and is the poster boy for the reasons our nation has an elected president and not an autocrat as its leader.

Trump continues his “big lie,” although his allegations have been proven entirely false in every court in the land, including his own, stacked Supreme Court.

TRUMP CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH

On Sunday, Trump agreed to an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press which was taped earlieer. Big mistake. When he was asked a question related to his “big lie,” he stood and walked out. Without an iota of character, Trump lacks the ability to face any criticism, regardless of how big or how small.

There’s an old “saying:” “If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

With the possible exception of George Washington, all of our nation’s presidents have been targets for criticism and laughter. If Trump didn’t want to be the target for comedians and the opposition, he should have stayed home and let a real president take residence in the White House.

THE EXCHANGE PRIOR TO THE SPOILED RICH BABY’S TANTRUM

[During the interview, which aired on Sunday's Meet The Press, the president claimed both the current primary elections in California and the 2020 presidential election were "rigged".

[When pressed for evidence on California's vote by Welker, he said: "All I have to do is look, and I listen."

[After the presenter replied "that's not evidence", Trump accused the media of being "crooked", before ending the interview: "Sorry, let's call it quits because I've had enough."] Then he huffed, and puffed, and exited angrily.

UNFIT FOR OFFICE? WITHOUT A DOUBT

Any man or woman with average intelligence and has survived adolescence and reached maturity, must have the ability to either defend his actions or accept opposing opinions.

Why would the orange buffoon agree to an interview on any network other than Fox, Newsmax, or any other right-wing extremist propaganda machine? When he agreed to answer questions on NBC, he “wasn’t in Kansas anymore.” He would not receive “softball questions” from one of his sycophants. Maybe he’s simply too dumb to understand reality.

TRUMP IS THE EXCEPTION

For Trump, this was just another embarrassment for the worst man in the world. However, afflicted with malignant narcissism, he is incapable of feeling this type of emotion. His ego is larger than the unnecessary ballroom he plans to construct.

Any other president would have faced his detractors with dignity and acceptance. “Donny Dementia” is the exception.

I miss the days when we had real, American presidents like JFK, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
