Bullying Experts: Trump Is an Eighth-Grade Girl
Daily Beast ^ | 16 Sept, 2015 | Olivia Nuzzi

Posted on 03/12/2016 8:51:58 AM PST by rey

Don’t let the comb-over fool you. Donald Trump’s rhetorical style is straight out of middle school. “He’s like an eighth-grade girl,” Rosalind Wiseman told me. cut

But Wiseman wasn’t talking to me about some unruly kid who threw rocks at a mathlete or called his frenemy names in a Burn Book. She was talking about a 69-year-old man from Queens who is seeking the Republican nomination for president of the United States.cut

“He’s absolutely operating as an intelligent, manipulative bully who truly does not care about the consequences of his actions,” Wiseman said. “He delights in his own ability to manipulate and to show that nobody can stop him.” cut

Trump has ridiculed so many people and places and things that enterprising content creators have made Trump insult generators in his honor. Regular English words are for the time being inextricably linked to Trump because he deploys them so frequently from his insult arsenal: loser, in particular, but also lightweight, stupid, weak, and clown. cut

“People bully to gain power over others, and Trump’s behavior is the epitome of this,” she said. By insulting Fiorina’s appearance, Drew said, Trump was “behaving like the high school bully who’s threatened by a girl who’s smarter than he is,” and by mocking candidates for not polling as well as he is, Trump is “acting like [a] high school football player swaggering into the cafeteria and overturning the lunch tray of a weaker kid.”

You are welcome, but the real credit goes to Rosalind Wiseman for finally telling us what Trump is really about. We should defer to her on literally everything.

Hillary is the class last-ditch pump.

““He’s absolutely operating as an intelligent, manipulative bully who truly does not care about the consequences of his actions,” Wiseman said. “He delights in his own ability to manipulate and to show that nobody can stop him.” cut “

If this were true, he would have spoken at the rally in Chicago last night and allowed the riot planned by the leftist community organizers to occur. Potentially dozens would have been killed and hundreds injured.

It has been reported dozens of agitators inside the arena planned to charge the stage. Imagine if Trump were speaking and 20-30 men charged the stage, overwhelming the private security guards and yelling obscenities and threats. The Secret Service agents would have only seconds to assess the situation and take action against the threat. Their duty is to protect the candidate at all costs. Imagine if an agent, perceiving immediate danger to Trump’s life, fired and killed one or more of the members of the approaching mob. Not only would pandemonium have occurred inside the building resulting injury and death to dozens more people, the community organizers outside the arena would have encouraged the thousands of protesters outside to riot.

If Trump didn’t care about the consequences of his actions he would have held the rally as schedule. Instead he canceled the event. By doing so he eliminated any excuses for the behavior of the protesters and likely prevented a catastrophe. Trump’s behavior last night in canceling the even demonstrated cool and calm decision making as well as good leadership.

Contrast with Cruz, Rubio and Kasich who reacted to the news by blaming Trump in an effort to score political points and prove their political correctness to the media. No concern for the protesters denying first amendment rights. No concern for the rule of law. No concern for personal responsibility which Trump demonstrated and the protesters did not.

We have now real evidence as to how the remaining candidates behave under a potential life threatening situation involving high stress, potential harm to hundreds of people, and the preservation of God given liberty protected by the Constitution. Who met and who failed the test?

Show me an 8th grade girl who has built cities of skyscrapers, and you might have a point.

Why post this bovine scatology? If it’s to give us heads-up on what our enemies are up to, I guess OK.

“Bullying experts?”

That’s a thing?

Seriously?

So, Trump believes in people defending themselves and freepers of all people have trouble with that. Talk about drinking kool-aid.

A loudmouth who is also masculine in a way that is reminiscent of Generals George Patton or Jack Pershing. Both brash were loudmouths who were instrumental in saving the republic in their day. Of the candidates left standing who would you want by your side in a dark alley and surrounded by BLM thugs? I suspect not Marco, Ted or John. If you were to choose them, I would bet your odds of getting out the alley are pretty slim.

“The Left hates it when you stand up for yourself. The Left and their MSM cohorts are bullies. Their tactic is to bully and then, as always, label their opposition, in this case, those that stand up to them. What is amazing is so many in the GOP have bought into this politically correct crap for so long. Its no wonder the stupid GOP has played right into the hands of the Left and lost basically since Reagan left office. The Left doesn’t use reason in the forum of ideas because they lose every time. The Left tries to win with labeling and shame as their weapons

Thanks God we have a guy who’s going to stand up for himself and fight back regardless of the opposition’s name-calling. Masculinity is not politically correct (& neither are the true graces of femininity). Politically correct is the Sharia Law of the Left. Both PC and Sharia Law are reflections of a group that essentially hates people and hates the God who made them.”

I would agree whole heartedly with your first paragraph and most of your second. Trump will stand up for himself; HIMSELF! He is not out there to do anything for you or this country. Never truly has never will. He is seeking to further HIS goals as are all the candidates, except for Sanders. I think he is demented enough to actually believe what he says.

I do not trust any of the candidates or any politician for that matter, especially in the situation you mention. That is why some sharp guys a little over 200 years ago gave us the first amendment and the ability for us to take care of ourselves.

The Democrats are convinced Trump will be the Republican nominee and are now going into full Alinsky mode against him.
