Trump Tantrum (he needs to grow up)

President(?) Trump threw another temper tantrum. Wednesday’s was epic. It didn’t just play out in the Rose Garden where all the cameras were, it started inside the White House where Trump stormed out of a meeting with Nancy Pelosi. Trump blew up a plan to repair and modernize America’s infrastructure including roads, sewer pipes, bridges, drinking water, and airports.

Remember the last Trump tantrum? The government shut down, small businesses were hurt and 800,000 federal workers went without pay. Trump came out the political loser.

This time Trump has decided he is not going to work with Congressional Democrats unless they ceased all investigations of him. Unbelievable! (But then Duh Donald ain't too bright.)

Trump doesn’t realize that his childish tantrums -- stonewalling Congress and walking out of Wednesday’s meeting -- only highlight that he’s hiding some sh*t. And what he is hiding must be really, really bad sh*t.

Trump’s Herculean effort to conceal his sh*t is undermining the core of our democracy, with Wednesday’s tantrum costing jobs and infrastructure. $140 billion to fix roads and bridges, $115 billion to modernize America’s water and sewer systems, and $40 billion to improve our airports and make air travel safer have all been taken hostage.

Ego, fear, and his autocratic negotiating style led Trump to slam the door shut (on his own shoe).

He wants to yell, scream, and throw things. But when you are the president of the United States you have an obligation to rise above banal infancy for the good of the nation.

If you are a Republican hardliner or immersed in the Trump Cult, you’re hoping history will blame Democrats for “overreaching.”

Odds are history will blame the president.

Regardless of what you believe, the truth will eventually come out.

It’s time for the president to put on some big boy pants, and go to work just once in his miserable sheltered life.
