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

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.”

Trump is a bully when people rush him and attack him and threaten him to shut down his rallies. He’s a big bully. The attackers are the victims.

Our country is so far gone, maybe we need a bully now. Not a bull dyke like the she-devil though.
