Trump threatens to tattle on an Australian reporter to his "leader"

[senseandsensibility]

This public threat by trump to an Australian reporter this morning is both infantile and terrifying.

He warned an Australian reporter that he would tell his "leader" about him because the reporter asked him about his business activity. "You are hurting Australia very much right now They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon. I'm going to tell him about you."

I've heard kindergartners who are more subtle about their threats and tattling. And of course, he feels free to do this on video and in public knowing that the press will yawn.

1. This Scarcely Rises to the Level of Petty Playground Stuff for a Toddler

I guess we are getting a good primer on how deep embarrassment for our country and its reputation can get.

2. A clear case of thoughtcrime..

This reporter needs to be re-educated, or perhaps sent to room 101.

3. Trump's developmental level is between 3-5 years of age.

4. Just about.

Reminds me of when my dear, cute little brother had a tendency to tattle on his fellow kindergartners. The teacher told my mom about this problem at the parent conference. Later, she sent a progress report saying that his "tattling had improved." My father said, "What does that mean? Did he come up with more interesting things to tattle about?"

5. Bro got an A in tattling.

11. Malicious tattling....

not the kind of tattling where you tell on a bully.

12. We don't have enough data to determine that.

Teacher didn't like it, but the little guy could have been shoved around a bit by other kids.
Or the kid could be a pain in the ass himself.

Until you get in there and get the facts, you can't make a determination.

13. Or plain old ignoring the facts

15. If you're referring to my brother, he was just

doing run of the mill tattling about other kids not following the rules, or whatever. It was typical of his age, but should not be typical of a president. The fact that the press "accepts" this is ridiculous.

16. Yes, dumpy's tattling is because he is a bully who bullies others in every possible way he can.

6. He thinks he's "in charge" of everyone here so that must be the case in every country

MAGA was prowling this weekend for businesses and I think homes that dared not follow Dear Leader’s flag order through Sunday.

Alina Habba was DEMANDING obedience.

Here’s the clip with the reporter.

7. Joe Besser. That's precisely who I see when he's onstage

If Mr. trump says, "Ohhh.... I'll give you such a pinch!" my life will be fulfilled
(oh Waldorf, bless your heart... don't take it so literal)

9. Trump still thinks other world leaders respect him

They dont

14. Didn't we freeze the Five Eyes out of intel last week?

Was it the Venezuelan boat or something about Israel? I forgot.

10. Makes me wonder if he did rat out Epstein (which would be a good thing) and would explain the bullshit

statement that he was an "informant". I'm thinking he wasn't an actual informant, just a rat. It makes you wonder who else he ratted on...like any of the NY mafia?
