Don't agree with that, he is just thin skinned, unable to take any criticism and simply a bully!! I forget the word but is that a narcissist?? This is how he runs his business, its his persona on his tv programs but while sure he can fire those who work for him, other countries leaders are his peers, not his staff but he won't see that and will continue to piss off other countries. The more he does it the more some over here will see it as vindication that he is not suitable for office, but there are still plenty over here who are applauding these actions and see them as a sign of no nonsense strength!!!
Its quite scary how he is, hopefully enough Republican politicians see some sense and make sure they put the brakes on what he tries to do, not seen it much yet but there are grumblings from some of them.

People in other countries like the UK obviously never voted for him but they have every right to condemn his crass activities that have no place in a properly governed 'civilised' country that the previous US president epitomised far better than this bully and impostor could ever emulate! I like your 'scary description' which I certainly share with trepidation!  If 'form follows form', Trump will eventually end up being a very lonely person in the White House if he continues in this nauseating, bullish manner! That's normally how it ends up for any disturbed bully who continues to irritate at every opportunity!

Trump now bickering with the US judiciary over his ill thought out travel ban! He comes over as a 'punter straight off the street' mouthing off without thinking - what an embarrassment bordering on lunacy with the judges politely telling him to #### off and 'do your homework' before making such complex 'executive decisions'!

He is a punter straight off the street, albeit a rich one!! This is what makes him appeal to so many of his supporters!! His use of social media is no different from the ordinary guy!! He is not a politician, he doesn't worry about opinion polls because he believes his supporters will vote for him no matter what andhe is not afraid of attacking the Republican establishment!! His treatment of Senator John McCain is scandalous, a Republican who has served the public for years and was a POW in Vietnam, but Trump doesn't care, he surrounds himself with yes men who just smile and nod!!!

Trump has inherited and lost eye watering amounts of money over the years,the kind of sums that are beyond the man in the street. Look at who his father was,he has always been part of the establishment.

Yep! He's definitely a con man as well and his arrival as a US president is an absolute tragedy for a nation that doesn't need this nonsense at this current time - he is now placing blame on the judge for threatening national security - a disrespectful big shit TBF!. Remember his hypocritical lines on the campaign trail that covered this great association with the common man and criticism of the establishment dynasties that have ruled America for a long time! I'd recommend a recent book publication called 'Age of Anger' that opens up a lotta debate re morons like Trump, the period of Brexit, why it happened and similar links going back in history. It's not an engrossing read but it is certainly enlightening re political manipulation of certain groups of people and the creation of illusions and unfulfilled promises while a small % of the population make a lotta money and acquire power to influence certain spheres of our society and even govern a country under false pretences. IMO the foreword in this book would cover a fair amount of the in depth debate and interest without continuing to read the full book contents.

Trumps national security adviser quits amid leaks that he covered up talks with Russia over sanctions. 
Hillary Clinton couldn’t be trusted with the country’s national security because she couldn’t be trusted with her private email server according to agent orange....
He promised a tough,competent national security team.
Yet Flynn was so careless about his cellphone conversations, and so mistaken about his foreign policy priorities, that he called the Russian ambassador to the US before taking office. And that's before you get to his lies about talking about sanctions,and his potentially taking money from Moscow.
What a 24 carat trainwreck this whole compromised administration is.
