Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trumpābut we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. ReadĀ this descriptionĀ from SundayāsĀ Washington PostĀ of how the GOP nominee spent last week: ā[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.ā
If you didnāt know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, TrumpĀ has calledĀ Kennedy the ādumbest memberā of the Kennedy family and a āradical left lunatic.ā KennedyĀ has calledTrump a āterrible human beingā and āprobably a sociopath.ā
I believe the zero tolerance rules do help bullies, theyāre the ones whoāve made a habit of playing jussst outside the rules but with enough deniability that they can feign ignorance. Zero tolerance is great at catching people who donāt make a habit of breaking rules though. Teachers always seem to notice when the quiet one does something, but a bully being a bully is just another day for them. Been a long time since I was in school though so grains of salt and what not.
