Trump has a Thin Skin and it irritates voters. His rhetoric and inability to contain his emotions is what turns off many voters.

“Trump has a Thin Skin and it irritates voters.”

Trump lashes out at rogue federal agencies targeting him and those that he has supported who are not loyal.

His ability to stay focused while simultaneously admonishing those who slight him is not a flaw, in my opinion.

Bush would silently let people do, write, or say anything they wanted about him and he never responded. Never! It made him look weak, impotent and mute.

I prefer the Trump approach.

If Trump had thin skin, he would have taken his ball and gone home a long time ago.

Think you for your service, but I strongly disagree with you. If I attacked you for everything you said or did, I think you would defend yourself.

In which case I could claim you were thin-skinned repeatedly until enough people would believe it.

How do you think Joseph Goebbels got asway with his lies?

By repeating them to the point of ad nauseam with support by sources of trust.

Or, his play acting from years of using this Bismarck like fuming to negotiations in business. It is a technique, btw. Most daily negotiations of the public involve some kind of play acting in haggling. Cannot assume by some installed psychoanalysis of Gen. Kelly (who couldn’t possibly be biased) that there is “no control of emotions”. There sure was when working with Wilbur Ross to set the Chinese tariff structure and also motivated Kim Jong Un to try and get out of the clutches as a client state of Chi-Coms (incidentally, Xi tried to kill him for this, and install Kim’s lunatic sadist little sister. We sent treatment, monoclonal antibodies, and other, to Kim when he disappeared on his armored train to the NE coast of N. Korea. Xi killed Kim’s younger brother by poison- in Singapore’s airport. All reported in press).

I don’t think he has a thin skin. It is a tactic he used in his business career. Intimidation and aggravation.

He got out of repaying hundreds of millions$ on loans this way.

Way to buy in to the media narrative. Is that you Carville?

Trump is a New Yorker through and through. He is not going let anyone step on him without fighting back.
