Side show barker is a good simile. Of all the Presidents I have witnessed in my lifetime (which goes back to Eisenhower), this bum is the least presidential of any of them. For all their faults, his predecessors at least tried to do their jobs, work with the people who can make things happen (Congress, et al.), and tough it out when they started taking some heat. We may have disagreed with them, but at least they got in the ring and took some punches as well as giving them. All this child does is cry. Doing any real work in governing seems like a foreign concept to him.

Right, it is a simili, not metaphor. But on substance matter, I also agree with you. BTW, your comment about doing any real work in governing being a foreign concept is right on the mark because his personal history has nothing to do with the US experience. He sees himself more like a guy protesting in Cairo or Tinanamin Square than the person who works within the government to make it happen. Like a child, he throws a tantrum whenever he does not get his way.

As long as we can keep the heat on this guy, keep up the pressure, he will crack and when he does, he will bring himself down. Nothing we can do will be able to get him out as his party is not going to let that happen, so, we have to work for the best and that is he needs to publicly show exactly what a man child he is.
