Trump is bullying autistic teen. Why?

[sooda]

He did not attack her position on the issue of climate change or her knowledge of the science. Instead he picked something that he thought would be personally hurtful to her and by extension, those that support her. It seems like petty jealousy, but that appears to be a large portion of his emotional persona.

I find it amusing to see people defending this waste of time as if it is completely natural for a powerful world leader to make the time and give importance to a petty attack. It is not so much the time it would take, but that it is given pride of place over much more important issues where his views should be expressed.

Great post.

Trump is VERY emotional and not very bright.

She is the figure head of a political movement.

One wonders why you keep asking questions you already know the answer to?

Because this is a public thread. And i was replying to your question

 

[ChristineM]

Where has he mocked her for having autism?

Anger is a symptom of autism. Why not address the argument rather than mock the messenger?

I think this is grasping straws, really. And it's still not particularly offensive.

He is bright enough to realise what is going on. It is a pity that other world leaders appear not to be.

Everyone around him knew Trump would be impeached... Tillerson, Kelly, Mattis, Bolton.. ALL of them .

John Kelly: I told Trump a 'yes man' would get him impeached

We disagree.

Knowing trumps petty tantrums and spite there are no straws involved

It comes across to me more a lighthearted jab. I can spend hours daydreaming, I mean literally hours, and if someone told me I need to take my head from the clouds and go eat a meal with friends, I wouldn't be offended.

Oh yeah, and great to have on one's CV - POTUS feels I am important enough to mention me in dispatches!

I see it as mockery of a medical condition, on the basis that trump is a spitefull fool and its precisely the ploy he would use rather than address the argument.

Actually, considering his record of loosing it i find it very hypocritical too but that is beside the point.

You may know, just a year ago my brother in law attempted to commit suicide for precisely the same reason. Not Autism but schizophrenia. Stupid and deliberately hurtful comments can have deep meaning to those targeted.

Not sure what this has to do with what I said?

We are obviously interpreting it very differently.

Do you think it is because of his small hands? This lack of a sense of proportion.

I think the root problem is his brain.
When those things go bad...look out!

Stop bullying Trump!!!

 

[Revoltingest]

Our history goes further than this thread. I am quite happy to play with him and his vendetta game as i would with any ____ (begins with i and ends with t) who tries to make personal and sexist attacks against me.

But i play my way, not his

You asked for it!

Anger is also a symptom of understanding what is happening regarding climate change.

It is?

 

[ChristineM]

Oh you are flapping at me... Boo, hoo...

I have offered the olive branch to him twice, he refused it both times, accompanied by insult.

I would normally only give people one chance, my reasoning, if they are ___heads once they will be again so why twice i dont know? He has proved my adage correct so it won't be happening again.

Even with a good flapping

Of course? But i believe that is too deep for trump to comprehend.

 

[Revoltingest]

That's not me!
Criminy....I have red hair, not feathers.
No, tis the 2 of you duking it out.
