What happened last night—what& #39;s happened regularly for an entire presidency—is not a toddler& #39;s temper tantrum, and it doesn& #39;t resemble one. To call it that is to reinforce the ongoing delusion that we have a problem with one immature, erratic, anomalous man.
In the real world, you will find many, many more white adult men who regularly resemble Trump than you& #39;ll ever find children. The rage. The incuriosity. The cruelty. The reflexive dishonesty. These qualities are abundant somewhere in America, and it& #39;s sure as hell not children.
He is the apotheosis of white American masculinity.
