Bullies Often Are Just Scared Little Boys

We are getting reports of just how unhinged Trump is since being infected along with probably getting a sense of early election returns. His belittling the effects of the Big V (which doesn't even mean he's not hurt by it, since a big part of this is image, including self-image) almost gets lost there. It is deadly though -- just wearing a mask is not "masculine." See also, the Sunday Night Football guys being as childish. Dangerous and sad.

The same dangerous little boy is seen with the response to arrests related to a terrorist (white militia) plan to kidnap Gov. Whitmer (Michigan) with her strong response to the Big V a basic complaint. Trump responded by whining about her not thanking her while criticizing her for the same things that motivated the militia. He tossed in that he was against all violence, but even a child knows the concept of obligatory words over what really matters.

The "bully pulpit" only goes so far without more but it matters and there is "more" mixed in here too. To toss it in, Republicans are aiding and abetting this, Moscow Mitch's recently statement he didn't go to the White House for a while given their lack of Big V safety protocols only underlining the level of wrongdoing.
