At a certain point when the baby won’t stop crying you just have to leave the room. America is exhausted and just needs a break.

Except this isn't a baby that deserves patience and compassion.
Walking away just leaves them to destroy the room and smear shit all over the walls.
This baby needs people to want to do much more than turn their backs.

Your comment just made spontaneously imagine a scenario where he wakes up entirely left alone to fend for himself like some kind of post-apocalypse movie. He's never taken care of himself. I don't think he's capable of solving practical problems. I wonder how long he would survive.

But on the flip side, for racists and fascists he's a roaring success worthy of all their money!

The media is owned by billionaires who really like not having to pay any taxes, follow any regulations or laws. Their media reflects this by never having anything bad to say about Republicans and everything bad to say about Democrats. Which they really should not do anyway, becasue the Democrats have leaders who are just as Republican as the Republicans, they just pretend not to be.

We're dealing with weak minded people who allow a bully to rage against them. Look at Cruz, he allowed Trump to say horrible things about his wife and Ted didn't check him.

People like Trump can be found in many places. The problem is the people who are voting for this guy, thinking he is the best man for leading the country.

Agreed. The one "positive" thing he's wrought is encouraging so many of those problem people to clearly show what they are to the world.

We might be watching trumps's narcissistic injury as his fan base declines. I have been waiting for this. The behavior of people with personality disorders are somewhat predictable. I think he, being a malignant narcissist, wants to burn the world down on his way out of life. He knows he doesn't have much longer and now he is losing the support of his fan base - ouch!

Anyone else, especially a head of state, complaining about not receiving enough constant attention would not have everybody acting as if it was normal.

The next time you folks who resemble a mentally disabled and challenged individual who looks at the sun for fun (because that’s much nicer than the “I” word), think electing a reprobate, narcissistic, sort-of-man child, with the impulse control of a horny teen boy and the emotional control of a 13 year old girl, doesn’t matter, remember this.
He’s throwing a tantrum because a “news” channel that fawns over him like Kegseth when he sees a cosmopolitan, didn’t fawn over him enough.
The alleged leader of the free world.
