Have you ever met President Trump?

Didn't think so, but that doesn't stop you making judgements.

I see what I've seen with all the politicians in my lifetime. It isn't making a judgement pointing out what they've done. I'm not against him or any other previous presidents. I look what they promise and what they do, and how they act in office and in public. You don't have to meet a person in person to see how they act in public. Millions see what he is daily, and he says things that are recorded. Like I said, I hope he uses that power for good things, as the other side was weak.

That really doesn’t make any flipping sense at all. My opinion isn’t relevant here, it’s your opinion that is on display here and that is what your OP is really about, isn’t it?

Its not even his own opinion (this time)  but the opinion of some  deceased conservative political commentator who most have never heard of .

So anyway , if Trump is like a toddler he must be a very shrewd one, having first sealed off the southern border, sacking the criminally  incompetent money wasters with the DOGE initiative, clearing out the scum from the inner cities , and brokering several peace deals   certainly achieving a lot more so far than any other president has achieved in their first 12 months of office or in the case of Biden , his entire term.

         Trump should therefore be described as a child prodigy , just think what other great things he will achieve as he grows up , assuming he is not assassinated by some leftist nutter before his balls have dropped

It isn't. 

I don't have power.

Trump has massive power.

My emotional age whatever it is is totally irrelevant.

 

If you start a thread critisizing another person's emotionaly maturity, your own maturity is going to be under the spotlight. Deal with it or stop starting dumb topics.

He is doing just fine so far , as opposed to his predecessor who was doing , well , very little from what I saw

They all do good things, and some do stupid things, as history has shown us. He has a chance to help Americans if he focuses on them more and outside things less, although helping mediate between countries has always been an American thing, so I'm for that also. We'll see what has been done at the end of his 4 years.

What would be happening in Gaza now if , god forbid , Harris was in charge?

Would the southern border of the us be fit for purpose?

Would illegal immigrants be getting deported like they should be ?

Would the decomposing inner cities be getting sanitised?

Your opinion seems to be it's not OK to have a bad opinion of Mr. Trump.

That is dumb.

What's dumb is obsessing over Trump and starting a thread about what people think the emotional age of Trump is. He's been POTUS twice. This time around he won everything. One wonders though about the emotional age of those on here starting multiple Trump hate threads a day. Does it make you feel better or something? IMHO it's bizzare and boring.  This particular thread is simply puerile.

which will be the beginning of the next four years  He will probably retire then ,although I expect  and hope JD Vance will be at the helm.

The topic isn't about people with bad opinions of Mr. Trump.

It's about the perceived emotional age of him.

What do you consider it to be?

I would say that regarding his emotional age (whatever that actually means) he is doing exceptionally well, Having a bad opinion of him is fine, but does make me wonder about the emotional age of those who will inevitably  hate him whatever he does,  and feel the need to constantly broadcast this publicly. 

Do you really think anybody will change their opinion of him, because of your rants?  

That Your "favorite commentator " who you admired so much likened him first to an 11 year old and then changed that to one year old, suggests to me you should start looking for another  to idolise , Perhaps Trump himself?

Wow, now that is a very mature reply to someone who disagrees with you.  At least you refrain from smearing him with "MAGA fascist".  

 

On another note, I get satisfaction knowing many on this forum spends many hours fretting over President Trump.  You and others must live miserable lives 🤣

Tell the forum how President Trump hurt your feelings today.  Feel free to list all of them on one post.

What do you reckon is Mr. Trump's emotional age?
 

About the same as the op?

and he is one of the more mature trump haters, but they all turn to throwing insults when disagreed with 

Just as the term "woke" has morphed unsurprisingly into an insult,   "Maga Fascist" is actually a compliment these days

Yeah, but he has "30 years of research" 🤔....now what is the subject of his "research" was unclear.  I have over 55 years of research, of course on various topics mind you

I like to call ot the boo hoo emoji. Fitting considering the thread.

Stuck at 6 to 7 years... Hence to need to supress him, from his current position.

I doubt that very much. Very much indeed. One is a two time POTUS and the other has the two time POTUS living rent free in his head 24/7.

They did, under biden, so Trump has actually brightened up their lives as they are never happier than when whinging and "virtue" signalling to their like minded chums,   Just out of interest when was spreading hate ever considered a virtue?

Totally agree. Two fits well. 

just like you pair, in fact  tessellation would be the word that springs to mind ,but obviously only for those that have reached the necessary emotional age to understand what it means. 

Immature and spoiled 15 year old.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of <deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a <deleted> was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."
