Why do these people act so weak in front of Trump.

If you can not find the words on your own, quote Shakespeare.

There are about 20 to 30 quotations that apply to Trump.
Not the ones that praise virtues but the ones attack vices.

MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29

PISANIO
[His] tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile.
--Shakespeare, Cymbeline 3.4.34-35

PORTIA
When
he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he
is worst he is little better than a beast.
--Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice 1. 2. 82-84
