Throw a “temper tantrum”? What an odd choice of words for an FR poster.

I call them as I see them. Trump does not like to be told no, and everybody knows it. I don't see what good it does for us to pretend that isn't the case. Trump has a lot of strengths, but he also has some weaknesses, and this is one of them. Along with overvaluing personal relationships, And being too easy to trigger with insults.

Utterances that might lead to the death of a president are held to a very strict standard. That’s the law, and you know it. ,

It isn't true, so I don't "know" any such thing. But if you're claiming that it is, please name for me the successful prosecution of people for saying things equivalent to what Comey said.

As I've said, you could likely find hundreds of thousands of examples of other people making equivalent statements about we need to "get rid" of a President. That kind of rhetoric is common. Then there was the whole target "crosshairs" controversy when Sarah Palin ran ads against Democrat members of Congress.

No prosecutions.
