Bullies are individuals who use fear and intimidation to make themselves feel more powerful. King Trump is a bully.
His endless decrees attacking all perceived enemies, including Senators and Congressmen, judges, economists (including the Federal Reserve Chairman), educators, corporate executives, foreign countries and journalists are designed to influence their behavior and to feed his narcissistic personality. To date, there has been far too little resistance and his bullying continues.
Indeed, though one finds Trump's behavior outrageous, one might blame much of it on his psychological problems. Most of the blame should, in my opinion, fall on those who condone, justify, support or cave-in to his demands. Until such individuals and groups have the backbone to stand up to Trump's bullying, his sense of omnipotence will only grow and his reckless policies will continue to degrade our Democracy.
