1. Don't have to go to deep down to find the terrified little boy

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. You beat me to it.

It's there right under the layer of greasepaint.

[secondwind]

3. Kinda, sorta.... just have to go through layers and layers of narcissism, cruelty, arrogance,

psychopathological behavior, etc.

That little boy is down there... somewhere... deep, deep down.

[TwilightZone]

11. It's on the surface.

It's part of his personality. He can't handle confrontation so he sends everyone else out to do his dirty work. He can't even fire someone in person, outside of a paid TV appearance.

[PSPS]

4. APparently, this is the phase where we're supposed to create a sympathetic figure.

[DonaldsRump]

5. Mary Trump said it...no sympathy for Terrified Trump there

[Demsrule86]

7. He killed so many people...no sympathy.

[dalton99a]

13. No sympathy for a mass murderer

[soothsayer]

6. Good. Put him in a cage.

[Guilded Lilly]

8. We'd better be prepared for more than the third wave of coronavirus...

When he loses, we will have a shitstorm of epic pettiness and revenge for months. No holds barred attacks.
If he cheats and declares a win, same vengeful attacks with extended destruction and disintegration of What is left of America. And our fight will continue.

Buckle-up!
We will need all our strength.

Edit to add: he’s no little boy. He is the ultimate Bad Seed.

[Karma13612]

9. Well, deep down he knows

He’s up a creek without a paddle.

He has way too much debt and the prospect of legal trouble is on the horizon.

Jolly good in my book.

The SOB should be sweating.

[moonscape]

19. I hope so. He slithers out of every mess he makes,

away from every failue, I can only hope his time is truly up and he isn’t able to have a media outlet, continue to monetize his hate somehow, monetize state secrets, whatever.

Yeah, I have ptsd ...

[CatMor]

10. Simply put ..deep down he's a no good monster ..

with not one redeeming character. The only little boy in him is his brain. He should never have one drop of sympathy as he has none for his fellow man.

[58Sunliner]

12. Sorry-not a terrified little boy. He is a sociopath. A sick, twisted pos that can never be helped.

We can not normalize people who are born without a conscience.

[cwydro]

17. I agree.

He’s a sick, pathetic little man.

[North Shore Chicago]

14. Call him a ham sandwich with "hydrosonic missiles"

I don't care, calling him a little boy who is scared will make some folks feel badly for him. You know, we are Democrats, we have empathy and are mindful of others. Personally, I have no feeling but rage and anxious to rid the good people of this country this pox, this piece of crap!

[The Magistrate]

15. Let's Scare The Little Bastard A Damned Sight More, Sir

I am happy to give this cheap thug every smidgen of pity he's ever extended to any human being....

16. Star trek had an all powerful entity who turned out to be a child. This child has a nuclear football

Star trek had an all powerful entity who turned out to be a child. This child has a nuclear football.

[JI7]

18. How many terrified little boys are there in cages taken away from parents and now can't find them ?

He is an evil piece of shit coward. In fact the biggest cowards are people like him who put on that fake ass show for others .

[KentuckyWoman]

20. Whatever.

Little boys have wonderful qualities that improve the world. Trump is no little boy. He is just a bucket of uselessness in the bottom of a latrine, out in the middle of Chernobyl.

It is a stretch, but I would put money down that his own family would be better without him.
